    Recursive Process

    jbosslim

      Hello all, I am evaluating whether JBpm have this feature of recursive process (or other terms).

      For example, Data Entry clerk submit the entry to checker, if there's error(s) in the document entered, checker will reject and send it back to Data Entry clerk. This process will be repeat until the checker approve the document.

      Jbpm support such scenario?

      Thank you very much.

          This functionality is possible: the data entry is a task and the checking is a task.

          Let the second task (checking) have 2 transitions, one going back (to data entry) and one going further in the process.

            Thank you for your reply...

            I'm new in BPM area..

            I'm also evaluated Oracle BPEL, what I understanding is that the product doesn't support recurrent process like this, unless to apply a while loop... Not sure how true it is but that's what I found.

              for simple flows like this, you do not even need recursive (nested?) processes, but support for loops, which jbpm has to
