Java/REST api for suspending process instances ?

[neledv]

We are currently evaluating some process engines such as the one of Activity.
I've already checked the documentation and the Java and REST api's, but I haven't found yet an answer to the following question:
Is there somewhere an API available that allows us to suspend/resume/stop/restart certain process instances ?
If so, could you provide me with a link towards the documentation ?
If not, will this be provided some day (roadmap) ?

Hi,

Suspend a process instance can be done by using a wait state, like a receive task.

Best regards,

Thanks for the tip !

Using a wait state is ofcourse different from realy suspending a process… The main difference being that you have to model thing in the process. othoh, if suspending would be implemented on the engine level, not in the process definition, lots of other questions arise, do you suspend or better, postpone timer etc… so it is not that trivial
