Hi all. i've to implement my task using the delegation (http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#eclipseDesignerExtending). so far so good. Now, inside the task logic, i've to perform a poll of data that periodically queries an external server and, when the poll returns true it finishes the task.
i saw in the documentation that activiti has
activiti:async
that does pretty much what i want to do. Then, can i reuse this for my purposes or do I have to manage the threads by myself inside the delegation function? (writing the logic of polling using a thread)
PS: how long can i keep polling the external server inside the task execution? beacuse i might have results in days or weeks, so i've to keep polling periodically till i've data.
