Ho to design sub-processes (1 to many)

Hi,I designed a main process that is linked with one business object. The business object is a batch that contains many folders.The first task of my process match with the batch business object (1 task for 1 batch).But for the second task i would like to create many task instances : 1 task for each

A multi instance embedded subprocess should do the trick.

Ok thanks for your response.

Does it means that a java service task has to be created in the main process to launch every embedded subprocess ?

No, simply making the embedded subprocess multi instance will do the trick.

Indeed !

Some precisions (about variables) that would perhaps help someone :

<multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics isSequential="false" activiti:collection="docids" activiti:elementVariable="docid"></multiInstanceLoopCharacteristics>

Property "activiti:collection" is an array that contains all values for the "activiti:elementVariable". That means that each subprocess is started with each value of the array.
