I needed a filtered version of the pooledTaskInstanceList so that i could select tasks assigned to a given actor pool.

the two actor pools tasks that i needed were CRS_Releaser and CRS_Processor.

i can use following to get my filtered lists

#{cRSReleaserPooledTaskInstanceList}

#c{RSProcessorrPooledTaskInstanceList}

i dont know how "good" my solution is.... any comments would be nice.

anyway i hope this helps someone else out there.

package main.java.com.sms.crs.customComponents;

import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Out;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Factory;
import org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance;


import java.util.List;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.ArrayList;

@Name("customSeamComponents")
public class CustomSeamComponent {

 @In(required = true)
 private List pooledTaskInstanceList;

 //could make this filter on more than a single actor..really this is a group

 @Factory("cRSReleaserPooledTaskInstanceList")
 public List cRSReleaserPooledTaskInstanceList() {
 return filteredPooledTaskInstanceList("CRS_Releaser");
 }

 @Factory("cRSProcessorPooledTaskInstanceList")
 public List cRSProcessorPooledTaskInstanceList() {
 return filteredPooledTaskInstanceList("CRS_Processor");
 }


 //pooled actor is a Role
 private List filteredPooledTaskInstanceList(String pooledActor) {
 List taskInstanceList = new ArrayList();
 Iterator pooledTaskItr = pooledTaskInstanceList.iterator();
 while (pooledTaskItr.hasNext()) {
 TaskInstance taskInstance = (TaskInstance) pooledTaskItr.next();
 if (taskInstance.getTask().getPooledActorsExpression().equals(pooledActor)) {
 taskInstanceList.add(taskInstance);
 }
 }
 return taskInstanceList;
 }


}
