Dan, The short answer is: it will work.
You've fallen into a common newbie wrong-thought. Imagine that a deployment has a million processes running, but steps only happen once a day. A workflow engine that ran a separate Java thread for each process would be a pig. So instead, engines are always event-based. You'll never see one go into a wait() state for a particular process. Instead, when a process blocks waiting for an external event, the state is persisted. When the event happens, it restores the process state and continues. I've simplified the following: - processes can fork and be in more than one state at the same time. - the persistence behavior is a little more complicated. See the userguide for more. -Ed Staub View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4043722#4043722 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4043722 _______________________________________________ jboss-user mailing list jboss-user@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user
