Workflow task activated by CSSDK

I have a situation where I am using Job description XML file to initiate a workflow from my CSSDK client.

CSWorkflowEngine eng = csClient.getWorkflowEngine();
CSWorkflow csWorkflow = eng.createWorkflow(xmlSpec);

I am able to activate a task and send a notification email to the person for approval or rejection using Javamail API.
Now, my question is, how will I identify from my Java application that he has approved it or not?
Is there any provision in Teamsite to activate a java class when a workflow task is processed? Or is there anything similar in CSSDK for the same?
I need to send a notification mail (not using perl scripts) when the user approves or rejects a task.

Thanks,
Prasanth

What are you trying to do?

When a user task is transitioned, the successor task(s) will be called.

This can be an external task, which can be Java.

This task could notify your application.

I think this is this first time I've said this on devnet but RTFM.

An external task is just a program that takes a workflow ID and a task ID as command line args.

This program should then callback the appropriate task to cause a transition. If you are using java I presume you would use the CSSDK to do this.
