    Query regarding sub-process

    amar.patel

      Hi,

      I have a process which consists of multiple sub-processes. I would like to know that after deploying the processes(super as well as sub processes), is it necessary for me to set the process states with their sub-process definitions?

      What I mean to say is that currently i create my process instance in the following way:

      ProcessDefinition superDefinition = getProcessAdmin().getDefinition("superprocess");
      ProcessDefinition subDefinition = getProcessAdmin().getDefinition("subprocess1");
      //...... do the same for the remaining sub-processes

      ProcessState state = (ProcessState) superDefinition.getNode("sp1");
      state.setSubProcessDefinition(subDefinition);
      //...... repeat the above two steps for the remaining sub-processes.

      ProcessInstance instance = new ProcessInstance(superDefinition);

      Then my query here is that do I have to set these sub process definitions or is there a way to configure so that when i create the super process instance and the sub-processes are picked up automatically and created?

      As in is it okay just to have the following steps:

      ProcessDefinition superDefinition = getProcessAdmin().getDefinition("superprocess");

      ProcessInstance instance = new ProcessInstance(superDefinition);

      Hope that its clear.

      Thanks
