Hi guys,

I was wondering if it’s possible to wait for a signal method to return and then go ahead on the sender side? I didn’t find anything if this is possible or not.

Best regards,

Maik

Hi @maikdrop

Temporal does not provide the feature out of the box, but there is a couple of workarounds to achieve this. Please see this related post: [Signalling system - Human driven workflows - #3 by maxim](https://community.temporal.io/t/signalling-system-human-driven-workflows/160/3)

We don’t have an example in java. Linking here an example in go just in case it helps [samples-go/synchronous-proxy at main · temporalio/samples-go · GitHub](https://github.com/temporalio/samples-go/tree/main/synchronous-proxy)
