ActorId from within process definition

[mennen]

Hi,

I've been trying to get the actorId (from inside my process definition) with the following methods, but no results (in database)

String actorId= executionContext.getTaskInstance().getActorId();

String actorId=executionContext.getTask().getActorIdExpression();

String actorId = executionContext.getTaskMgmtInstance().getSwimlaneInstance("demandeur").getActorId();

String actorId =executionContext.getJbpmContext().getActorId();

THis is the node in my process definition that is trying to get the ActorId :

<start-state name="start automatic_date">
 <task swimlane="demandeur">
 <controller>
 <variable name="Date_demande" access="read"/>
 <variable name="actor id" access="read"/>
 </controller>
 <event type="task-create">
 <script>
 <expression>
 Date today = new Date();
 executionContext.getContextInstance().setVariable("Date_demande",today);
 //String actorId= executionContext.getTaskInstance().getActorId();
 //String actorId=executionContext.getTask().getActorIdExpression();
 //String actorId = executionContext.getTaskMgmtInstance().getSwimlaneInstance("demandeur").getActorId();
 String actorId =executionContext.getJbpmContext().getActorId();
 executionContext.getContextInstance().setVariable("actor id",actorId);
 </expression>
 </script>
 </event> </task>
 <transition name="" to="task1"> </transition>
 </start-state>

Any ideas as to how to get the actorId??

Thanks in advance,

Also tried this, but still didn't work:

String actorId = executionContext.getJbpmContext().getCurrentJbpmContext().getActorId();

[mennen]

I did it!!

Here is how:

String actorId = executionContext.getJbpmContext().getActorId();
 executionContext.getContextInstance().setVariable("loggedPerson", actorId);

i don't know why it didn't work before though..

Here is my process definition.xml anyways:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition name="actorIdTests">

 <swimlane name="tester">
 <assignment expression="user(mennen)"></assignment>
 </swimlane>


 <start-state name="start actorId tests">
 <task swimlane="tester">
 <event type="task-create">
 <!--action name ="start_action" class="org.jbpm.mennen.ActorIdAction"/-->
 <script>
 <expression>
 String actorId = executionContext.getJbpmContext().getActorId();
 executionContext.getContextInstance().setVariable("loggedPerson", actorId);
 </expression>
 </script>
 </event>
 <controller>
 <variable name="loggedPerson" access="read"/>
 </controller>
 </task>
 <transition name="" to="task1"></transition>
 </start-state>

 <task-node name="task1">
 <task swimlane="tester">

 <controller>
 <variable name="loggedPerson" access="read"/>
 </controller>
 </task>
 <transition name="" to="end1"></transition>
 </task-node>

 <end-state name="end1"></end-state>

</process-definition>

and my

just posted it for those who would be looking to do the same thing,

Hope this helps!

Your start-state contains a task and this works??

<start-state name="start actorId tests">
 <task swimlane="tester">
....

Thought that wouldn't be a valid process-definition..

[mennen]

why not?

Here is what i found in the Websale example of jbpm 3.1

<start-state name="create new web sale order">
 <task swimlane="buyer">
 <controller>
 <variable name="item"/>
 <variable name="quantity"/>
 <variable name="address"/>
 </controller>
 </task>
 <transition to="evaluate web order" />
 </start-state>

[mennen]

I tried to have a start state without a task .. but my process appears on the Webconsole with an empty"start process link"!
Anyone knows why?

Sorry it's my fault - think it wasn't allowed in older jBpm version...
