In our application we need to check for historic tasks for a given set of task descriptions. While looking at the Activiti API's I see that only equals, not equals and like operations are supported. Is there a way to do "IN" search i.e. for a given set of possible values?
Currently, there is no way of doing such a query. You'll have to do separate queries and union/intersect the results in-memory, I'm afraid… If that's not possible or desirable, you can always use a native query.
