need help to set a task

[blai]

Hi you there,

I am testing JBPM and in doing so I am building my first application. I mean to set a task that would send emails. I looked throughout this forum and all docs at hand but no luck in finding an answer to my problem: I want to know how to set a task that send emails within the XML configuration file and how can I provide the task handler class the parameters needed to do so.
Honestly I haven`t found a clear example.

May anyone help me?

Thanks a lot for your help.

To declare an action that sends mails as you "enter" a task:

 <task-node name="1a revision contrato">
 ...
 <task name="revision_contrato_1">
 <timer
 name="send_mail"
 duedate="5 seconds"
 repeat="7 days">
 <action
 class='com.timers.test.MailSender' />
 </timer>
 </task>
 ...
 </task-node>

Here's a snippet from MailSender class:

public class MailSender implements ActionHandler {
...
 public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception {
 MailSender ms = new MailSender();
 ...
 ms.send();
 ...

Also, in order to activate timers, I'm declaring the next in my web.xml file:

 <servlet>
 <servlet-name>JbpmThreadsServlet</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>org.jbpm.web.JbpmThreadsServlet</servlet-class>
 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>

If you have the jbpm.war in the same app server, you don't need to declare it.

Regards.
