New to jBPM - does it fit my requirement?

[paulkeogh]

Hi,

Picked up on jBPM from the Seam in Action book - I'd like to implement a simple workflow that;

Calls 3 tasks in sequence;
Waits until a DB query returns a certain count OR a timer expires

I think jBPM will work - just looking for a level of comfort.

What is best practice around implementing a task waiting for a DB table to fit to a certain minimum number of entries ?

Thanks,

Sounds like it would fit fine.

I would use a state shape with a timer on the shape to query [this would be a polling pattern] periodically. If the database contains the proper number of records, signal from the state shape.

Thank you very much for your reply.

One last question - can you point me at the best documentation resource for this specific requirement ?

Thanks,
