High volume batch processing

Hi Guys,

We are considering using activiti to process large volumes (up to 100k per hour) of files through a validation process.  My initial thoughts are that I would like to start a new process in activiti whenever a paticular type of file hits the filesystem.  Are there any any filesystem listeners with activiti for starting workflows.  Also, any advice on how to flag a filesystem file as being in process so it is not added to more than one running workflow would be  very helpful.

Hi Brian,

No (AFAIK) you have to implement listener yourself.

Also, any advice on how to flag a filesystem file as being in process so it is not added to more than one running workflow would be very helpful.
I would use simple and standard way. (lock file).

regards
Martin
