I am using a variation of Jmac's ProcessStarter UPES code to instantiate a process. The first activity(A) in my process is a web service call to application WS. I need this WS app to signal back to me that it's done with the specific workitem at which point additional work will be done then activity A is considered done. Signalling is not a problem.
My dilemma is keeping track of workitems serviced by the web service. I considered passing the item's OID to the web service and have the web service pass back the OID when it's done so that I may query MQWF for the particular workitem (I am saving the OID in the item description for easy retrieval) and proceed to complete the activity. Is this efficient? Anyone have a better way to handle this requirement?
Thx.

I'm not 100% certain I understand what you are doing... But your method seems to be the best way to accomplish this. Using OID to retrieve any object is the most efficient method possible.
GOOD LUCK

I donno about Jmac 's code..but if you are calling create process API then another way to do this is using a External Context (Process context). This is a useful feature when you are interested in getting a list of a processes having a common feature, say you are interested in all the processes for same "Applicant ID"...ofcource this is useful at process instance level only and not at workitem level

Is your Activity A manual or Automatic? Is the owner of the workitem going to invoke the Web Service call. If so, your solution is right. If it is an Automatic Activity, your UPES should make the Web Service call. For Automatic, you would not have any workitems.

Ratan, indeed it is a manual activity. Thanks Manoj, Ratan, and Jmac for your input. Problem solved.
