swimlane mapping to sub-processes (JBPM-572?)

sgodden Jul 12, 2006 7:05 AM

When defining a process that might be composed into other processes (or not), then we need a method of mapping swimlanes from the parent process to the child process.

For instance, a sales order processing (SOP) process might have "customer" and "order processing clerk".

A standard issue resolution process (IRP) might have "reporter" and "assignee".

A decision point in the SOP procedure might decide that an issue needs to be raised. It kicks off the IRP. At this point, we might want to automatically map the "customer" as the "reporter", and the "clerk" as the "assignee".

I don't think this is possible right now. Is it basically what is meant by http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-572? If so, shall I post this on there to clarify a sample scenario?

Simon,

You are correct that the feature request is exactly what you describe. You can always reference this thread from the issue, or vote for it if you badly need it. In the meantime, you could provide the same behaviour using process variables that get copied into the launched process and are used to do the proper swimlane assignments e.g. while leaving the start state of the subprocess...

Regards,
Koen
