notification to the user of specific role.

[3]

Hi,

I am using jBPM 4.0 in my project. I have to implement that once a task is assign to the role, all the user who has that role should be notify by mail.

So please tell me is anything available in jBPM 4.0 which i can use directly??

Thanks

Depending on how you are implementing the whole identity management part, you might want to invoke this kinds of things in the the events that get triggered when a certain api call is made in jbpm4.

Shekar,

Not needed, see http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v4.0/devguide/html_single/#mailsupport

You can use groupnames in the mail template and afaik even EL in there so you can refer to e.g. a variable or whatever.

Might even be that sending an email to the 'candidate group' a task is assigned to is the default behaviour of jBPM 4.

Set the "notify" to yes in your task node and whoever you set on the "Assignment" tab will be notified. You can use a actor,pool of actors or swimlane based on what you want to achieve.

From what I've seen in the code, only individual assignees receive a message. What he wants is to notify (candidate) groups. I think that requires a different template where to/cc is filled with something like ${task.candidateGroups} (this is not the correct syntax, but just to give you an idea)
