JBPM 6 - 2.3 - Debugging Processes

Breakpoints

• current state of your running processes can be inspected and visualized during the execution.
• currently breakpoints cannot be put on the nodes within a process directly
• breakpoints can be put inside any Java code:
  • code that is invoking the engine
  • code invoked by the engine
  • listeners
  • rules (than part)
