Hello all. I'm new to jBPM and I have searched the forums for an answer to
this question. I saw a similar issue in
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=78536, but it did not
seem to completely answer my question...
We have an initial process definition from which a number of additional
workflows may execute. Specifically, we are developing a Service Request
workflow. The initial request entails reviewing the request for the request
type (password change, new software requirement, etc.), and then spawning the
necessary secondary workflow depending on the request type.
My question: We are trying to determine if each of these additional workflows
should be considered sub-processes, or brand new workflows. I am concerned
that if we consider them sub-processes, the main process instance will not end
until the entire sub-process has completed. Therefore, instead we'd really
like to spawn the secondary request workflow and then immediately end the
initial workflow. Is this an advisable way to perform this task?
Here is my rudimentary processdefinition.xml:
<process-definition name="srq">
|
| <!-- SWIMLANES -->
| <swimlane name="analyst">
| <assignment
class="org.jbpm.delegation.assignment.ActorAssignmentHandler"
config-type="field">
| <type>role</type>
| <name>Analyst</name>
| </assignment>
| </swimlane>
| <swimlane name="requestor">
| <assignment
class="org.jbpm.delegation.assignment.ActorAssignmentHandler"
config-type="field">
| <type>role</type>
| <name>Requestor</name>
| </assignment>
| </swimlane>
|
| <!-- START-STATE -->
| <start-state name="incoming request">
| <transition to="review request"/>
| </start-state>
|
| <!-- NODES -->
| <task-node name="review request">
| <task name="review" description="#{review.description}">
| <assignment actor-id="#{actor.id}"/>
| </task>
| <transition name="" to="process1"></transition>
| <transition name="cancel" to="done"></transition>
| <transition name="reject" to="done"></transition>
| </task-node>
|
| <end-state name="done"/>
|
| <process-state name="process1">
| </process-state>
|
| </process-definition>
|
Thanks very much in advance for your help.
