What's the recommended way to force a process to end (i.e. even if pending user tasks are outstanding)? Is there a built-in way in bpmn20 through the end-event, or is the only way to do this via a java delegate?
normally I would advise you to use a "terminate end-event", which is the BPMN element to end process-instances even if tasks are still running. But it is not supported by the Activiti engine.
does anybody know if the terminate end event is supported by now? there is nothing to read about it in the user guide. so I guess it is still not supported?
I see an issue for this operation: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-432 Is there a way to vote for this issue? This issue is marked low in priority and is not currently in plan.
