Hi,

There are several options. I pick only two of them:

"Your" option - I used something similar for simulation purposes (another case could be debug and replay/playback). Task create event scheduled new event to complete the task in the event calendar (taskService.complete(taskId)).
More straight forward way is to describe such a case in process definition (e.g. exclusive gateway - do not create userTasks, which are not needed).

I would prefer option 2 in the most cases.

Martin

HI Martin,

Perfectly agree with you that option 2 is ideal way to implementing this requirement. We have a process with 10 activities and these activities executes based on some business conditions means upfront we never know which one executes and which one not. So I have to keep a decision gateway to bypass the flow. Our customer does't want decision gateway's to be put in between all the activities. I am wondering why activiti has no property to skip/run the activiti. I can see this feature in most of the BPM suits.

We implement the BPMN 2.0 spec. The spec doesn't have this, thats the reason why we dont have it.
