5.2. ProcessRuntimeService

It is designed to work with process instances. The service methods allow you to:

  • start a process;

  • cancel a process;

  • complete a task;

  • assign a task to the user.

When a process is started, the following process variables are created automatically:

  • bpmProcInstanceId – ProcInstance object ID;

  • entityName – linked entity name;

  • entityId – linked entity ID.

To access the service functionality on middleware, use the ProcessRuntimeManager bean.
