How to get actorId from transitions

[rorysteele]

Hello

Does anybody know how to get the actor id in an ActionHandler from a transition leaving a task-node?
i.e

...
<task-node ...>
 <transition to="somewhere">
 <action class="SomeHandler">
 </transition>
</task-node>
...

and tried

class SomeHandler {

 public void execute(final ExecutionContext context) throws Exception {
 String actor = context.getTaskInstance().getActorId(); // returns null
 ...
 }
}

and

class SomeHandler {

 public void execute(final ExecutionContext context) throws Exception {
 long id = context.getToken().getId();
 JbpmSession session = JbpmSession.getCurrentJbpmSession();
 List tasks = session.getTaskMgmtSession().findTaskInstancesByToken(id);
 TaskInstance task = ((TaskInstance) tasks.iterator().next()).getActorId(); // returns null
 ...
 }
}

Any help's appreciated

Cheers,
Rory

Hi

I should have said this is in JBPM 3 and to correct the code examples slightly:

- the task node does have a inner task element in the XML
- in the first example it returns a null TaskInstance not actorId (then a NullPointerException on getActorId())
- in the second example the list of tasks is empty

Cheers

I'll answer my own question for those that may come across the same problem...

String query =
"select ti from org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance as ti "+
"where ti.end is not null and ti.token.id = :tokenId";

....
ExecutionContext context = ....
JbpmSession session = JbpmSession.getCurrentJbpmSession();
Query query = session.getSession().createQuery(query);
query.setLong("tokenId", context.getToken().getId());
List tasks = query.list();

// so something with tasks

session.close();

I'm assuming that the TaskInstance is 'ended' before the transition is taken - would be nice to have access to this functionality via TaskMgmtSession
