Figure out if workflow is running async

[drams]

We would like to be able to find out whether a workflow is currently working in asyc or synchronous mode. Is there any way to find this out through the API's? We have a business requirement around logging that has to take this into account.

Thanks!

Currently, there is no way to figure this out in the API. The only difference there is, is that an asynchronous activity is run from a jobexecutor thread as opposed to regular API-calls, which are run in the caller's thread.

One solution whould be to check if there is a JobExecutor context active for the current thread, eg:


import org.activiti.engine.impl.context.Context;

…

boolean isAsync = Context.getJobExecutorContext() != null;
