Hi Tibor, Thanks for opening the topic. This PR adds support for invoking a DMN file from SonataFlow. This PR takes advantage of the fact that DMN file invocation is already supported by jbpm engine and code generator and that the jbpm engine is already being used both by SonataFlow and BPMN parsers/code generators. Therefore what this PR does is add DMN support (in a similar way that is done to BPMN parser) to the sonata workflow parser by just recognizing the idiom ( a new custom type as per Serverless Workflow specification) Therefore, Nothing needs to be changed in the jbpm engine or in the coge generator.
