Using pooled-actors in jPdl

[vedavyas]

Hi all,

I am trying to assign a task to a group of users based on their roles using the <assignment pooled-actors="..."/> statement in the process definition file. this is the code snippet.

<task name="for-approval" description="creation request">
 <assignment pooled-actors="P1lead,P2lead"/>
</task>

What attributes should be set in the authenticator class so that these particular users can view the tasks? Is it enough to set just the actorId using actor.setId() or does the groupActorIds() come into picture here. If so please let me know how can this be done?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This is groupActorIds:

actor.getGroupActorIds.add("fooGroup")

<task name="for-approval" description="creation request">
 <assignment pooled-actors="fooGroup"/>
</task>

Is that all Authenticator class shoud have w.r.t groupActorIds?

ya the isssue got resolved. the tasks were being assigned but in the xhtml file i was not able to use it as i had used taskInstanceList.
it worked when i changed it to pooledTaskInstanceList
