How to pause a process until an event comes in

[etienne]

Hello

How can I model a process such that when I run it in Activiti, the process 'pauses' at a given activity (interrupting event?) until it receives a signal and then continues the process? I would like to send that signal programmatically.

Does Activiti even support such a scenario?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What about using a 'receive' task? And the docs mention that only a java receive task is supported, so doing it programatically should be no problem at all

Hi Ronald

Great. That is exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks and regards, Etienne

Sometimes things are sooooo easy if you read the docs 🙂

Yes, you are right. I overlooked the receive task, probably because I did not anticpate such a simple solution. My bad.
