TaskInstance Management Strategy

[julian_k]

I am trying to figure out a strategy for users to complete tasks via filling in form, clicking a link, or simply reading the task. In the case of clicking a link or filling in a form, it is simple to know when the task is completed. For the other tasks, I currently have a central portion of my app where people can see all their tasks and click a checkbox next to the task which is tied to a taskinstance.end() event. The problem for me is that I do not want users checking that box for tasks that require the user to click through a link or fill in a form. Are there any strategies for differetiating task types or is this up to my UI? The strategy I currently use is via processinstance variables, but I thought I may be missing something.

Thanks,
Julian

It's up to your ui, or a framework in between. Filter tasklists based on tasknames etc... or better. query them based on non-closed task names. Write a hibernate query for the latter.

You could also write your own taskcontroller...

Ronald,

Thanks for the response. Could you explain what you meant by "non-closed task names"?

Thanks,
