Starting proces(ses) on signals instead of messages

[lmollea]

Hello,

started playing with activiti engine and noticed that while there is the possibility to start a process based on a message, but there is not the possibility to start it based on a signal.
I may need to model a situation when more than one process should be started when the same signal is raised by an external system.
I can't model them as subprocesses as those processes are for different "customers" and for the sake of separating each process I can't mix them.
Wanted to know if there's a way this feature could be modeled with the current Activiti status or not, or if such feature is planned in a future version of the engine.

I can't use what's been proposed here (http://forums.activiti.org/content/start-process-instance-using-signal-instead-message) because, as said, I may have more than one process that should be started by the same event while in that scenario I many need different message names as they should be unique across all process definitions.

Thanks.

No, I'm sorry, the signal start event is not yet implemented. The only solution is to keep a mapping yourself.
