This is something that's not part of the Activiti core but could be added on top of Activiti. Handling the signals synchronously or asynchronously doesn't really make a difference I think, because multiple threads can invoke the logic at the same time.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 08 Sep 2014 19:16:48 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/thread-safety-of-signaleventreceived-vs-signaleventreceivedasync/m-p/204973#M158103 trademak 2014-09-08T19:16:48Z
