    use existing Users from an other system

    ajanz

      i want to integrate the user handling from an other system, an not the hibernate tables.

      can i implement java class with a specific interface to do this? which one?

      how can i tell jbpm to use that class?

          Can you be a more specific please I have only a slight idea what you mean

            I am working with the exact issue right now: that is, how do you implement users, roles, and permissions in jBPM without using the jBPM built in tables. Is that an adequate re-statement of your question?

            In our situation, we have to pull user, roles and permissions (U/R/P) from an existing corporate system.

            I know that I can change hibernate to NOT pull those tables, but this opens several questions:
            1. If we use an external source for our U/R/P, can they still be used by JBPM to enforce swimlanes, etc.
            2. Can we just point hibernate to external tables for U/R/P and still have it work?
            3. Is the easiest way to do this use a third table to associate external and jBPM tables?

            Thanks in advance...

              ahhh... user handling meaning user management....

              currently the most simple solution is to implement your own ExpressionAssignmentHandler.

              1: see previous answer
              2: if they have the same table definitions and content, yes
              3: No
