[rules-users] Multiple approvals in a Drools Workflow

[Kris Verlaenen]

Hi,

Yes, of course.  When you're talking about approvals, I assume you are
using human tasks nodes to model these approvals (each approval is one
human task node).  Whenever a user completes a task on his task list,
the process engine will automatically be notified that this task has
been completed (if necessary).  The process will then continue from that
point on.

In general, a process instance is created for each instance of a process
your are executing.  This state is persisted, so that the process can
always continue from where it stopped last time.  For human tasks, we
have implemented this linking for you, so that a process instance will
automatically be signaled if the requested task has been completed.
