ActorID and swimlane for a Task instance

[azeemullah]

Hi ,
In my application i need to insert both Actor id as well as swimlane for a taskinstance whenever it is created.Because the logged in user views his tasks in myworkitem page and in group workitem he will be viewing the group workitem tasks. So for Myworkitem i will retrive based on ActorId and for group workitem i will retrive based on swimlane instance.

My JPDL :Contains
----------------------

For swimlane i have given swimlane Tag as
--------------------------------------------------


<assignment pooled-actors="AD,GSM,RVP,DVP,CDM"/>



For the actorId setting i have used .. Event tag with task-create attribute. where i am doing the following code


My Sample Task Node in my JPDL
---------------------------------------
<task-node name="RateCard AD Approval">






</task-node>



public class MyHandlerClass implements ActionHandler
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

public void execute(ExecutionContext poExecutionContext) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Assigning the Task to the User");
JbpmContext jbpmContext = poExecutionContext.getJbpmContext();
long taskId = poExecutionContext.getTaskInstance().getId();
System.out.println("Task Instance ID IS ::::::::: "+taskId);
TaskInstance taskInstance = jbpmContext.getTaskInstance(taskId);
taskInstance.setActorId("AD");
jbpmContext.save(taskInstance);
System.out.println("Task Instance ACTOR ID::::::::: "+poExecutionContext.getTaskInstance().getActorId());
System.out.println("Assigning Done");
}
}




The Problem is when i remove the swimlane from Process Defintion it sets the Actor id in taskInstance table. but when i try with swimlane it either sets the actor iD but removes the swimlaneInstance .

WHY do we not have provision to set both while task instantiated...

Kindly reply as soon as possible.

2 things:

- use [ c o d e ] tags (see preview)
- make a real unit test with embedded processdefinition and actionhandler so we can easilty try it an maybe find a quick solution

I tried with Action Handler but it works within the execution context but it doesnt persist the same in The TaskInstance table. The sample handler i have placed for your view in this section itself...
Kindly have alook.

The First option you opted is not clear to me. can you explain a bit more in this.

Hi Ronald,
I tried to call a method from my business object to set the actor ID by passing the taskInstance which was created with a swimlaneInstance. At this way the the ActorId gets persisted in the taskInstance table. But For me this is not the case that i want i actually assign both ActorId and swimlaneInstance while task creation itself. but i think JBPM doesnt allow both to be persistd with one session at a time.


Kindly let me know if you have a solution to solve this.
