Programatically setting the taskInstance of the current BUSI

[slienert]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest a good way to programatically set the taskId of the current BUSINESS_PROCESS context in my Seam app ?

i.e. I have a method that returns me the taskInstance and I need the next @BeginTask annotated method to begin processing this particular task.

Process.instance().setProcessId(pid)

Should work.

Oh and then Process.instance().setTaskId()

Thanks Gavin, I'll give that a try

btw, is it really 3 in the morning over there ? You guys really take your 24 / 7 support seriously ;-)

heh, no actually it is just 12, we are in Las Vegas for JBoss World :-)

Hi Gavin,

That worked. The business process context now picks up the correct process / task.
(I got rid of the @BeginTask annotation on the method)

My app sets the task and then navigates to a new page to work on this task, however the business process context seems to get reset by the next event, so that when I submit the new form the business process context has gone. Can I stop that from happening ?

I am using Seam 1.0 beta1.

Thanks,

Simon

Easily fixed: just start a conversation.

Thanks Gavin,

That worked as well.

Now I just have to go away and work out the relationship between a conversation context and the business process context so I know why it worked !

Cheers,

Simon
