Hi Bola.

You can start your process definition and in the first step make decision whether to continue in the process or not.
This decision can be based on e.g.:
- rule evaluation (http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#bpmnBusinessRuleTask - supports decision tables.)
- script evaluation (script task)
- service call…

Thanks Martin for your reply, I was thinking in that workaround too, but since I don't want the process to be initiated and put <i>On-hold</i> state, most probably I ll go to the solution to add my evaluation conditions in java code that will decide either to call <i>startProcessInstanceByXXX</i> or not.
