Hello -
     I am very, very happy with Jbpm4, and I am currently looking for a hint on 
best practices for handling failures of automatic activities invoking retries 
or failovers - for example, a  whose class connects to an external server 
(which may be down at the time of calling)

     I understand I can signal the failure in the  return variable and model 
the retry / failover process explicitly with a switch, but that seems rather 
cumbersome.

     My preference would be to have the possibility to implicitly choose from 
the  activity the outgoing transition, pointing to a "retry" state which 
periodically re-enters the automatic activity with a timer. I am not sure if it 
is possible to define that an exception in the java class with 
exception-handlers, because the docs seem incomplete.

    Also, about exception handling, I could not find any hints on these two 
points:
        1- what possibilities are there to "recover" a process that has 
encountered an unhandled exception? 
        2- will other process instances running in the same PVM keep going in 
such a case?

Any pointers woud be really appreciated.

Bye and thanks.
