All Implemented Interfaces:

Plugin

public class SplitAndJoinPlugin
extends AbstractPlugin

The Imixs Split&Join Plugin provides functionality to create and update sub-process instances from a workflow event in an origin process. It is also possible to update the origin process from the sub-process instance. The plugin evaluates the txtactivityResult and the items with the following names: subprocess_create = create a new subprocess assigned to the current workitem subprocess_update = update an existing subprocess assigned to the current workitem origin_update = update the origin process assigned to the current workitem A subprocess will contain the $UniqueID of the origin process stored in the property $uniqueidRef. The origin process will contain a link to the subprocess stored in the property txtworkitemRef. So both workitems are linked together.
