How to know who start the process?

[kinorsi]

I am using jbpm5. Now I want to show the process infomation of specific Process created by some user. Then how can I know which process is started by the user? Or how can I retrive the processes of specific owner? Thank you!

By default, jBPM5 doesn't store the user that started the process instance.  So if you want to store this, you'll have to pass this information as one of the parameters when starting the process, so it can be stored as a process variable, or persist this information somewhere yourself.

In jBPM6, we by default store which user started the process instance (the current logged in user) in the audit tables.
