Papi WS Notifcation using Correlation

Question

Hi,
is there any way to notify a process instance via Papi WS using correlations in just one call? I saw that there is an operation for sending a notification, but it seems to accept only the instance id. Of course, I can make beforehand a call to getInstanceByCorrelation to find out the instance id and then pass it to the notification operation, but is there a kind of combined operation to do that?
Thanks a lot and regards
Matthias

Hello,
I have the same problem. My process has a Notification Wait exposed as a Web Service, but into the WSDL the method I would use to notify the process is described like this:
<xsd:element name="notify">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="sessionId"/>
<xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="instanceId"/>
<xsd:element type="xsd:long" name="codeArg"/>
<xsd:element type="xsd:string" name="valueArg"/>
<xsd:element type="xsd:boolean" name="esitoArg"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
codeArg and valueArg are the arguments I used to create a Correlation with the process instance
esitoArg is an argument that my process would get from an external caller
I know that I can get the sessionId using the startSession method
but, considering that I'm using correlation, why does ALBPM ask for the instanceId ???
Any help will be much appreciated.
