Async behavior in custom JavaDelegate class?

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

We have a number of custom tasks in our workflows that implement JavaDelegate, each have corresponding custem Designer tasks created via a Designer plugin.  Is there some way we can mark these as asynchronous to use continuations?  While we can do this using a Service Task without problem, we have developed custom Designer tasks to ease workflow editing (no need to remember class names, and variables are easier to enter) and I couldn't find a documented way of doing this.

I'm happy with a Designer or Java solution.

Thanks,

Marking an activity async is done in the BPMNParse, executed for taks, service-tasks, script-task, …

<br>activity.setAsync(isAsync(serviceTaskElement));<br><br>protected boolean isAsync(Element element) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return "true".equals(element.attributeNS(BpmnParser.ACTIVITI_BPMN_EXTENSIONS_NS, "async"));<br>}<br>
How do your custom Designer tasks end up in the XML?
