TaskService.deleteTask(taskId) is not working?

[zhangjing2000]

Is there a way to delete a task in jbpm 4.4? tried using TaskService.deleteTask(taskId), but always got an exception

org.jbpm.api.JbpmException: tasks related to an execution must be completed. they cannot just be deleted

BTW, the reason I want to delete a task is because the ExecutionService.endProcessInstance won't delete the process's task from jbpm4_task table. Is it a bug in this method?

Hi Jing,

When a task have relationship with an execution,  we didn't allow people delete this task directly.  When the task has been completed, it should signal related execution to continue.

You could only delete the task which was not binding on an execution.
