Activiti 5.3：子流程（subProcess）

Activiti 5.3提供了子流程的实现，包括两种基于子流程的实现：

一种是内嵌子流程：子流程元素<subProcess>内嵌在主流程元素<process>之内，只能在该流程中使用该子流程，外部是无法访问到的。这种子流程一般作为局部通用逻辑处理，或者因为特定业务需要，使得比较复杂的单个主流程设计清晰直观；

另一种是调用子流程：首先实现一个流程，在另一个流程中可以调用该流程，通常可以定义一些通用的流程作为这种调用子流程，供其他多个流程定义复用。这种子流程使用<callActivity>元素来进行调用，间接地嵌入到主流程中，用起来比较方便。

 

内嵌子流程

实现的基于内嵌子流程的流程，示例如图所示：

 

对应的流程定义文件SubProcessTest.MySubprocess.bpmn20.xml，内容如下所示：

流程定义中，实现了3个TaskListener，对应的代码分别如下所示：

package org.shirdrn.workflow.activiti.subprocess; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.logging.Logger; import org.activiti.engine.delegate.DelegateTask; import org.activiti.engine.impl.pvm.delegate.TaskListener; public class CheckBankTask implements TaskListener { private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(CheckBankTask.class.getName()); @SuppressWarnings("unc
