Serialise/deserialise a ProcessInstance #78
Description
The current implementation of serialisation/deserialisation is not really useful if you want to save process instances in a database. You can't store them serialised because you can't do any kind of report on the process data not to mention sorting/filtering data in a work list..
In a database one would save the following data for a ProcessInstance:
- id, name, idProcessDefinitionVersion, process data
- all tokens available
- all work items available and the activities they are linked to.
- all sub-process instances and the activities they are linked to (this is not implemented yet)
So the ProcessInstance class could be modified to serialise/deserialise only the data described above. Anyone agrees to this? Anyone working on this already?
