[jBPME][3.1.1] Nodes : state or task-node

[ephemeris-lappis]

Hello.

According to the user guide, the two node types are similar, except that the task-node represents a human activity that will be managed in the users todo lists. From the same guide, i've understood that both nodes are wait states that need a signal to make the process go further.

I've done some simple tests, and it seems that in fact task-node don't wait at all, but follow directly the transition without a signal.

Is this because i misundersand the documentation ?
In clear, what type of node should i use to represent activities that need a human participation and an application interaction to validate the work completion ?

Thanks for your help.

You need to use the Task Node. But don't forget that you have to actually add a task to the Task Node in order for it to do anything. You can add one or more tasks to a Task Node.

OK : a task in the task node seems to work, and stops the process execution untila signal is received...
I will read the documentaion again for more about tasks, wait states and signals...
Thanks.
