Multiple concurrent sub-processes

Does jBPM / jpdl have a standard way of initiating multiple concurrent sub-processes of the same type, when the exact number of instances is only known at run time?

jbpm 3: use the foreach fork handler like in the wiki. Only change the task to subprocess.

That is the 'standard' way of doing it in jBPM 3.

Ronald, thanks for the pointer.

Having looked at the wiki I'm not sure whether you were referring to the JbpmForkFAQ http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JbpmForkFAQ or ForEachForkActionHandler http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/ForEachForkActionHandler. As it's pattern 15 I'm after I assume the former, however the sample process is missing.

Oh and I assume the events will be propagated to the parent process?

The first is old..., second is better.

http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/MultiChoiceForkAH is even more extensive.

But use them to get the idea....
