Hi.  I believe we are working on a similar problem - If I understand your question.  I have received a few helpful suggestions.  The easiest (and ugliest) was to put an AND gateway and a signal intermediate event in front of each task.  This way, the task is not reached until the signal event (new data) is added to the process/ksession.  The other option, which I am working on now (a recommendation from salaboy I think), is implementing this functionality in a customworkitem - where the handler will not complete the work item until the required data is available.  This way, one handler could be used to look for a message that was defined as a parameter in that workitem.  This seems much cleaner to me.
