I recently figured out how to reassign swimlanes for a processInstance and thought an example might help others

Note: the assignments are currently hardcoded but a more production capable version of this Action could be designed that retrieves a processInstance varaible, possibly a hashMap and iterates over the key value pairs assigning the value to swimlane (key).

Any thoughts on the code? I had to do the Session.save(swimlane) in order to get it to work. Anyone see any problems with this?

package test;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.jbpm.JbpmConfiguration;
import org.jbpm.JbpmContext;
import org.jbpm.graph.def.ActionHandler;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;
import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.def.Swimlane;
import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.SwimlaneInstance;

public class SwimlaneReassignmentAction implements ActionHandler {

 public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception {


 Session hibSession = executionContext.getJbpmContext().getSession();

 executionContext.getContextInstance().getProcessInstance()
 .getTaskMgmtInstance().getSwimlaneInstance("buyer").setActorId(
 "test8");
 executionContext.getContextInstance().getProcessInstance()
 .getTaskMgmtInstance().getSwimlaneInstance("salesman")
 .setActorId("test7");
 try {
 executionContext.getContextInstance().getProcessInstance()
 .getTaskMgmtInstance().getSwimlaneInstance("accountant")
 .setActorId("test6");
 } catch (Exception e) {
 Swimlane sl = new Swimlane("accountant");
 hibSession.save(sl);
 SwimlaneInstance sli = new SwimlaneInstance(sl);
 sli.setActorId("test6");
 hibSession.save(sli);

 executionContext.getContextInstance().getProcessInstance()
 .getTaskMgmtInstance().addSwimlaneInstance(sli);


 }

 try {

 executionContext.getContextInstance().getProcessInstance()
 .getTaskMgmtInstance().getSwimlaneInstance("shipper")
 .setActorId("test5");

 } catch (Exception e) {

 Swimlane sl = new Swimlane("shipper");
 hibSession.save(sl);
 SwimlaneInstance sli = new SwimlaneInstance(sl);
 sli.setActorId("test5");
 hibSession.save(sli);

 executionContext.getContextInstance().getProcessInstance()
 .getTaskMgmtInstance().addSwimlaneInstance(sli);
 }


 // propogate the token through the transition on this node



 executionContext.getNode().leave(executionContext, "evaluate web order");




 }
