Hey,
According to the current @CreateProcess annotation, it is impossible to set an EL expression for the 'definition' part,

I would like to start a process without specifying a static name. since it cannot be done with @CreateProcess I would like to do by using JBPM's apis,

I would go for something like:

  @In private JbpmContext jbpmContext;
  
  public void myFunc() {
     ...
     ProcessInstance process = jbpmContext.newProcessInstanceForUpdate(dynamicName);          
     Process.setKey(businessKey);
     process.signal();
  }

But according to Seam's code, I see that it is also required to associate the created process in the current active conversation (according to org.jboss.seam.bpm.BusinessProcess class)

How(/why) important it is? and if it is important, how do I associate the process to the current conversation by my component?

Thanks,

Asaf.
