Hi,I use Activiti + Camel in my program. Simply put the program is a "form signing application" where I have a form that needs to be signed by a group of people. When everyone has signed the form, the signed form is archived and we're done.So in my BPMN diagram, I fetch the contact email of one pers

Forgot to mention that contact emails are needed for sending a notification to the person that he has a form to sign.

3 receive tasks wait for a signal

So I guess it does that because there's 3 receive tasks waiting for a message

Sorry, I meant 3 instances of this one specific receive task, not 3 different tasks.

Hi,

In the current Camel integration implementation we send the process instance id to the exchange and that's also used to signal a task in the process again when Camel returns. So currently there can only be one active execution for a specific activityId. I fully understand your use case and I would be more than happy to get this working by also adding an execution id to the Camel exchange, so that can be used to signal the correct receive task instance. Could you create a JIRA issue, then I'll look into it rightaway.

Best regards,

Hi,

I created the issue: https://activiti.atlassian.net/browse/ACT-4033

Thanks a lot! Are you planning to make a new release sometime near future or do you have any alternative solutions in mind for my case? I initially made a sequential version where I wait for one person to sign before I send notification about signing to the next person.

Hi,

Thanks for the JIRA issue. Yes we are planning to release 5.18 this month. I'll look into this issue today or tomorrow and see if I can solve it.

Best regards,
