Setting the start date

[caron1]

Hi,

We are busy implementing jbpm.

In order to migrate historic data, I have written code to create the tasks, start the task and then end the task. This is working well except I now want to set the start date and end date on the taskInstance to my own dates.

However, if I look at the code in org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance setStart sets the date to null.

 public void setStart(Date date) {
 start = null;
 }

I am using version 3.2.3.

Does anyone know how I can set the start date?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm.... that is strange... setting it to null when you pass a parameter.

If it is for ma migrationscript, you could use an SQL query or temporarily make a patch that does accept the date and sets it.

One of our team members found a solution for this problem:

taskInstance.getStart().setTime(c.getTimeInMillis());

It breaks encapsulation but it's the best solution we were able to find!
