Hi

I have a process involving 3 HumanTask nodes and 2 CustomService nodes. All 
works fine if I just run one instance of this process, when I try to setup 2 
instances, strage things starts to happend. Looks like the processes influence 
with each other. My question is how to setup session and knowlegde base to 
support mulitple instances of my process.

I use this strategy to setup my session and prosesses - is this correct?

1) When application starts up we read the knowlegdebase (only done once)

2) After 1 is completed we setup the session (global session reused)
session = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession() - global and reused trough 
application

3) When we need to start a new process, a new instance is created with the 
global session
     Have tried different solutions, right now this is what's done when 
starting up a new process instance:     

     //Register two custom work nodes
    session.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("START", new 
ApplicationWorkManager()); 
    session.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("APPROVED", new 
ApplicationWorkManager());

     //Register Human Task handler
    CommandBasedWSHumanTaskHandler handler = new 
CommandBasedWSHumanTaskHandler(appsession);
    session.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("Human Task", handler);

     WorkflowProcessInstance process = (WorkflowProcessInstance) 
appsession.startProcess("no.my.Process",parameters);


With just one active process things are fine, starting a second process - 
strage things starts to happend. E.g process number 2 skips the first Human 
Task which is active in process 1. Is the setup I use correct? Shall I just 
register WorkItemHandler once? How can i reuse my session for difference 
process instances?

Hope someone can help out here.. I think (and hope) JBPM is able to handle 
multiple instances of a process.
