1. Re: Difference between Process, SubProcess, Tasks
jbpmndc Mar 29, 2006 10:29 AM (in response to shahzad bhatti)A process definition defines a process. In the process definition are task nodes that break that process into discrete units. A task node can be broken down into individual tasks.

2. Re: Difference between Process, SubProcess, Tasks
shahzad bhatti Mar 29, 2006 10:36 AM (in response to shahzad bhatti)Well, I sort of get very high level view of process and tasks, but my question is really how they are treated differently by jBPM and when will you use one against another. For example, does the state is saved between processes, but not between tasks. I am planning to use jBPM in sort of BPEL like way, where I can define services either in chains of commands or workflow like (with forks), so I need to see whether it make sense to define call to each service as a process, subprocess or task.

3. Re: Difference between Process, SubProcess, Tasks
big gef Apr 18, 2006 4:37 AM (in response to shahzad bhatti)I have a more practical question: how to include a sub process ? Does it have to be defined in the same processdefinition.xml file as the main process ? With the same tag or is there a special tag for a sub process ?
Thanks in advance for your answers. -

Ronald van Kuijk Apr 18, 2006 5:36 AM (in response to shahzad bhatti)look at the testcases, there you will see they are defined externally
