Hi Enrique, > Dont use kie session start workflow. Kie-api should be used instead.
My example is a plain java in-memory ruleflow use case (not a persistent process nor a kogito service). ksession.startProcess() is the only way I know to start a ruleflow. Could you let me know the right method which you mentioned as "Kie-api should be used instead" ?
