Ad-hoc user task in xml process definition

[fzilic]

After spending a lot of hours trying to figure out BPMN specification I was unable to create an Ad-Hoc user task using xml process definition.

We have an issue when it is needed to create single user task or simple process (start -> task -> end) that will not block execution of current process…

According to BPMN spec, that should be supported by using call activity (ad-hoc) with a reference to global task…

Has anyone encountered this kind of problem, and what was the solution, any recommendations?

Hi,

You can do this by using an async call activity that starts a simple process (start - task - end).
We don't have support for a call activity that's connected to a global task.

AFAIK, async call activity will just start start that simple process in another transaction, it will not allow parent process to end before this called one ends…

Correct me if I'm wrong…
