    Swimlane in start

      Hi
      I want to remeber process initiator and then assign some task only to such person. So I've created some smple process definition:

      <process-definition name="orderManagement">
 <swimlane name="creator" />

 <start-state name="start">
 <task swimlane="creator"/>
 <transition name="init" to="somewhere"></transition>
 </start-state>
</process-definition>


      And after invoking this code: 
      InputStream is = new FileInputStream("processes/orderManagement/processdefinition.xml");
ProcessDefinition def = ProcessDefinition.parseXmlInputStream(is);
ProcessInstance pi = def.createProcessInstance();
Token t = pi.getRootToken();
t.signal();


      I get such log: 

      [org.jbpm.configuration.ObjectFactoryImpl] - adding object info 'jbpm.mail.address.resolver'
[org.jbpm.jpdl.xml.JpdlXmlReader] - process xml warning: swimlane 'creator' does not have an assignment
[org.jbpm.graph.def.GraphElement] - event 'process-start' on 'ProcessDefinition(orderManagement)' for 'Token(/)'
[org.jbpm.graph.def.GraphElement] - event 'before-signal' on 'StartState(start)' for 'Token(/)'
 [org.jbpm.graph.def.GraphElement] - event 'node-leave' on 'StartState(start)' for 'Token(/)'
[org.jbpm.graph.def.GraphElement] - event 'transition' on 'Transition(init)' for 'Token(/)'


      What is wrong ? It is very similar to example from documentaion(11.7).

          I think the warning about the swimlane is normal.

          "Starting" a process instance is different if there is a task in the start node. I do not know exactly why.

          I think you need something like this to start the processInstance:

          
if (processDef.getTaskMgmtDefinition().getStartTask() != null) {
 TaskInstance startTask = processInstance.getTaskMgmtInstance().createStartTaskInstance();
} else {
 processInstance.signal();
}


          I use this code with Jbpm 3.1.1, it may be different for 3.2.
