How you know when the process is waiting for a Task ?

[francis1970]

Hello, I need a little help with Task List.
I have a Servlet which I use as front-end for a JBPM process.

Here's one simple:

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

<process-definition
 xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2"
 name="simple3">
 <start-state name="StatoIniz">
 <transition name="" to="state1"></transition>
 </start-state>

 <state name="state1">
 <transition name="" to="state2"></transition>
 </state>

 <state name="state2">
 <transition name="" to="Task1"></transition>
 </state>

 <task-node name="Task1">
 <task name="Task1">
 <assignment class='com.sample.action.SimpleAssignmentHandler' />
 </task>
 <transition name="" to="end1"></transition>
 </task-node>

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

</process-definition>

I want that when the user reaches "Task1" process stops and the Servlet prints "User you have Task1 in charge".

I'm using "getTaskList" for this purpose....

List taskInstances = jbpmContext.getTaskList("user");

 TaskInstance taskInstance = (TaskInstance) taskInstances.get(0);
 taskInstanceId = taskInstance.getId();
 String taskName = taskInstance.getTask().getName();
 out.println("You have in your TaskList "+taskName);

The problem is getTaskList() returns the taskInstance Task1 also when the user is in state1 or state2. Why ?

I only want this when the process has stopped and waiting for Task completion.

Should I use a different Api for this purpose ?
Thanks a lot

Should I persist this information in a table when the assignment

<task name="Task1">
 <assignment class='com.sample.action.SimpleAssignmentHandler' />
 </task>

is fired ???
thanks
