spring bean as assignment handler

[sravyts]

Hello,

I'm trying to use a spring bean as the assignment handler for a swimlane.

But the jpdl parser doesn't recognize expr in swimlane assingment-handlers. (it doesn't use ObjectBinding to create the ObjectDescriptor like fi. the handler for conditions, but uses a parseObjectDescriptor method in JpdlParser.

Is this something that has slipped the nets, or is this by design?


Wkr,

There are lots of places where expressions cannot be used. An issue for this is in the jira. Please try to locate it and add this to it.

I used the EnvironmentImpl.getFromCurrent method to retrieve the referenced beans instead of using autowired fields. This way, I don't need to define the assignment handler as a bean in my spring container.

Is this acceptable as well?

Wkr,

I (personally) have no clue. Have not used spring a lot in general and not at all with jBPM. Maybe someone else has a clue.

According to me this approach is fine. Infact the purpose of Spring context class seems to be something like this. So my vote is for your solution.
