It’s useful to manage initiators / owners.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Initiator of process done via API (as a workaround for lack of swimlane): is the IdentityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(String) thread safe ? Javadoc is not clear enough on that point, when sharing IdentityService using Spring configuration.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WS Human Task: will the specification be implemented? A conform API for TaskService would be great. Actually how can I manage “started” tasks, and a “suspend”/ “resume” goal. (Resume on Event is my target).

So far a direct access to Transition could be a great Task/gateways pattern shortcut.
