Instant insert/update of variable inside JavaDelegate execution?

We have use-case in which we perform some relatively long-running operations (think of up-to 30 sec to 1 minute) as part of a JavaDelegate.execute(). We have the requirement to report the progress of the execution of the JavaDelegate, which we currently do as updates of variables inside DelegateExec

That is the way Activiti works: during the execution of your delegate a db transaction is kept open and it is committed at the end. There is no clean way to get what you want with Activiti, except storing it in a Threadlocal on the service task or a table outside of Activiti.

Thanks, we also took the external table approach as we don't want to mess with Acitiviti internals.
