Method Summary

T	startAfterActivity(String activityId) Submits an instruction that behaves like startTransition(String) and always instantiates the single outgoing sequence flow of the given activity.
T	startBeforeActivity(String activityId) Submits the instruction:
T	startTransition(String transitionId) Submits the instruction:

Method Detail

startBeforeActivity

T startBeforeActivity(String activityId)

Submits the instruction:

Start before the specified activity.

In particular:

• In the parent activity hierarchy, determine the closest existing ancestor activity instance
• Instantiate all parent activities up to the ancestor's activity
• Instantiate and execute the given activity (respects the asyncBefore attribute of the activity)

Parameters:

activityId - the activity to instantiate

Throws:

ProcessEngineException - if more than one possible ancestor activity instance exists

startAfterActivity

T startAfterActivity(String activityId)

Submits an instruction that behaves like startTransition(String) and always instantiates the single outgoing sequence flow of the given activity. Does not consider asyncAfter.

Parameters:

activityId - the activity for which the outgoing flow should be executed

Throws:

ProcessEngineException - if the activity has 0 or more than 1 outgoing sequence flows

startTransition

T startTransition(String transitionId)

Submits the instruction:

Start a sequence flow.

In particular:

• In the parent activity hierarchy, determine the closest existing ancestor activity instance
• Instantiate all parent activities up to the ancestor's activity
• Execute the given transition (does not consider sequence flow conditions)

Parameters:

transitionId - the sequence flow to execute

Throws:

ProcessEngineException - if more than one possible ancestor activity instance exists
