I have marked Task B and Task C as asyncBefore=true since i want them to be run asynchronously.

In Task D i am deciding the Response of the workflow. But since Task B and C are async the main execution thread is returned back as soon as Task A is finished.

Is there any way i can get to know that process is completed and how to get the output variable set in Task D. I need wait till the whole execution is complete in the main application thread.

you need to implement a messaging pattern with your API. You would not use the camunda API response, but rather you wait for a async message to be returned.

Is there no HistoryEvent or something similar to get informed if the process instance is considered as completed?

I’ll need this functionality as well. I’m building a framework which needs to react on the completeness of a process instance to create other instances programmatically.

I don’t want to know the End State activity, but want to implement a generic aspect-like behavior where the application reacts on the completion of process instances.

For me it sounds like a common use case, isn’t?

Thanks
