repeating service task or repeating boundry event

[amilarajans]

I'm trying to crate a process ,that checks a folder on interval (15min) and start a process as they drop files in the folder

is their any way that i can achieve that ??

before activiti i have achieved this via jbpm 3.1

This is possible with a repeating intermediate event and something that checks that folder. Apache Camel has out of the box logic for this, and Activiti integrates very easily with Activiti.

thanks joram,
when using repeating intermediate timer event ACT_HI_TASK get filled with tasks,is their any way not to add tasks

Then you are using it wrong. There is no reason why to have a user task for this problem. A service task is more than enough and it doesnt fill the ACT_HI_TASK table.
