Process Flow from Sub-Process to main process issue

I am new to Activiti. I am trying to design a Process with a Sub-process i.e call activity, within a main process. MainProcess(helloworldprocess.bpmn20.xml)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><definitions xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/BPMN/20100524/MODEL" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/20

No, you need to deploy the subprocess and process xml before you run the main process.
Here, it seems you are trying to mix two things: the java delegate does not need to start the subprocess, that will be done by the callactivity.
For the callactivity to work, the process AND subprocess need to be deployed via the repositoryservice.

I deployed the Subprocess.xml along with mainProcess.xml but still I am not able to get the flow back 2nd service task after the subprocess finishes executing. Did I miss anything else?

In your process you have no calledElement for callActivity.
You have:
[java]
<callActivity id="helloworldSubProcess" name="helloworldSubProcess">
[/java]
And it shoul be like that:
[java]
<callActivity id="helloworldSubProcess" name="helloworldSubProcess" calledElement="helloworldSubProcess">
[/java]
I recomend you to set activity names in process definition with spaces and you will see it helps to understand what is wrong. There name is just a name, it is not a CallActivity key you want to call.
And with activityId too: it is more clear when you see something like callactivity1 or scripttask2 as it does activity designer.

Look this one example:
[java]
<callActivity id="callactivity1" name="Call activity 1" calledElement="testProcess">
[/java]
It is clear to understand that "callactivity1" is id and "Call activity 1" is just a name. And I want to call process with key "testProcess".
