The WorkItemHanlder always returns information to the process. If you map the 
return of your Handler to a process variable, you can get the value of that 
variable right after you do session.startProcess() (assuming there is no 
intermediate wait-state before your Work Item). So, the process will start, it 
will exectue the WI Handler, the Handler will create the result and complete 
the WI (passing the result) the result will be map to a process variable 
(because you explicitly defined this mapping) and then, the process will 
continue until it reaches a wait-state or an End Event Node. At this point, the 
control will be returned to your servlet where you can read the pocess variable 
value.
There are possibly more than 100 other ways to do this same thing. Pass some 
listener to the WI Handler that will be invoked when the result is ready, use 
JMS to communicate the Handler and your code, etc.

Which dependencies are you defining in your app? You should also include some 
of the drools dependencies:  

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
            <artifactId>knowledge-api</artifactId>
            <version>5.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <type>jar</type>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
            <artifactId>drools-core</artifactId>
            <version>5.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.drools</groupId>
            <artifactId>drools-compiler</artifactId>
            <version>5.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jbpm</groupId>
            <artifactId>jbpm-bpmn2</artifactId>
            <version>5.3.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jbpm</groupId>
            <artifactId>jbpm-flow</artifactId>
            <version>5.3.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jbpm</groupId>
            <artifactId>jbpm-flow-builder</artifactId>
            <version>5.3.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
