jBPM Work item Handler Configuration

simple (stateless or requiring only KieSession) work item handlers might be registered in the well known way - defined as part of CustomWorkItem.conf file that shall be placed on class path. To use this approach do following:

• create file "drools.session.conf" inside META-INF of the root of the class path, for web applications it will be WEB-INF/classes/META-INF
• add following line to drools.session.conf file "drools.workItemHandlers = CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf"
• create file "CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf" inside META-INF of the root of the class path, for web applications it will be WEB-INF/classes/META-INF
• define custom work item handlers in MVEL style inside CustomWorkItemHandlers.conf

  [
    "Log": new org.jbpm.process.instance.impl.demo.SystemOutWorkItemHandler(),
    "WebService": new org.jbpm.process.workitem.webservice.WebServiceWorkItemHandler(ksession),
    "Rest": new org.jbpm.process.workitem.rest.RESTWorkItemHandler(),
    "Service Task" : new org.jbpm.process.workitem.bpmn2.ServiceTaskHandler(ksession)
  ]

And that's it, now all these work item handlers will be registered for any KieSession created by that application, regardless if it uses RuntimeManager or not.
