Conditional @CreateProcess

[damianharvey]

I'd like to launch a Business Process from a method if the outcome requires it (in my case it is missing data that needs supervisor attention). If I try to call a method that is annotated with @CreateProcess from another method, then the process is never launched. I can use

BusinessProcess.instance().createProcess("processName");

If a process is launched this way it does not have access to the outjected variables so you have to use:

@In BusinessProcessContext businessProcessContext;
...
businessProcessContext.set("myVariable", "myValue");

But what would be handy would be "ifOutcome" like @End has. Then it would be as simple as @CreateProcess(ifOutcome="error")

Does this sounds reasonable or have I missed something?

Thanks,

Damian.

Also I've noticed that if I use @CreateProcess and outject any variables into the Business Process scope then they are available as task variables accessible from the taskInstance like task.variables['variableName'] however when I start the process manually as mentioned above and set the variables with businessProcessContext.set("myVariable", "myValue"); then they aren't.

What other objects does the @Out populate?

Thanks,

Damian.

I think this sounds reasonable, please add a feature request.
