Elaboration:- Say suppose I am defining a processdefinition.xml which contains only one task-node (containg only one task). I have defined a swimlane (using actor-id tag like: actor-id="user1").
Now at the time of execution (once the processinstance is getting created) if I want to override the swimlane with "user2", will JBPM allow that? If yes, how? And if not, why?
What I tried:-
ProcessDefinition.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<process-definition
xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="ActorSwimlaneProcess">
<swimlane name="AD">
<assignment actor-id="user1"></assignment>
</swimlane>
<start-state name="start">
<transition name="toNode" to="TaskNode"></transition>
</start-state>
<task-node name="TaskNode">
<task name="task1" swimlane="AD">
<event type="task-create">
<action class="com.framework.workflow.handlers.ActorSwimlaneHandler" />
</event>
</task>
<transition name="toEnd" to="end">
</transition>
</task-node>
<end-state name="end"></end-state>
</process-definition>
code snippet contained in ActorSwimlaneHandler.java -->
.....
long taskId = executionContext.getTaskInstance().getId();
TaskInstance ti = executionContext.getJbpmContext().getTaskInstance(taskId);
SwimlaneInstance si = executionContext.getTaskInstance().getSwimlaneInstance();
si.setActorId("user2");
ti.setSwimlaneInstance(si);
executionContext.getJbpmContext().save(ti);
.....code snippet being used to createProcessInstance -->
.......
JbpmContext jbpmContext = jbpmConfiguration.createJbpmContext();
GraphSession graphSession = jbpmContext.getGraphSession();
ProcessDefinition processDefinition = graphSession.findLatestProcessDefinition(processDefinitionName);
ProcessInstance processInstance = new ProcessInstance(processDefinition);
processInstanceID = processInstance.getId();
jbpmContext.save(processInstance);
// Initiate the flow
Token token = processInstance.getRootToken();
jbpmContext.save(token);
token.signal();
jbpmContext.close();
.......
Please reply soon. If you have any approximate idea then also share that with me.
