Hi, all

I'm using jBPM5.3 final in our project, and  try to use local human task handler.

I got too many problems need someone help me.

1. to start a process:

Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("act_rule_launcher", "krisv");
params.put("act_rule_dept_manager", "john");
params.put("act_checker", "mary");
params.put("act_approver", "tracy");
  
StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = BPM.getBPMService().getSession("com.tmt");
HTWorkItemHandler handler = new HTWorkItemHandler(ksession);
ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler("Human Task", handler);
ksession.startProcess("com.tmt.ProjectPlanApproval", params);

HTWorkItemHandler is a local work item extends AbstractHTWorkItemHandler.

Exception:

0    03/06 18:06:18,379[UIThread [1gpcqnco5rnu6n5d7u3otffrb]] ERROR hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransaction.toggleAutoCommit  - Could not toggle autocommit

I guess maybe I need to change persistence.xml to use JTA?

<persistence-unit name="org.jbpm.task">

change to:

<persistence-unit name="org.jbpm.task" transaction-type="JTA">

After that, It's ok. but soon I got the 2nd problem, see below.

2. complete a task

HTTaskService service = BPM.getHumanTaskService().getTaskService();
List<TaskSummary> tasks = service.getTasksAssignedAsPotentialOwner(userId,"en-UK");
if(tasks.isEmpty()){
 return;
}
for(int i =0;i<tasks.size();i++){
 TaskSummary task = tasks.get(i);
 System.out.println(userId+">>"+task.getId()+task.getName());
}
long taskId = tasks.get(0).getId();
service.start(taskId, userId);
service.complete(taskId, userId,null);

HTTaskService is a taskservice extends LocalTaskService.

BPM.getHumanTaskService().getTaskService() will return a new HTTaskService from a org.jbpm.task.service.TaskService.

in my application only one org.jbpm.task.service.TaskService will created, every HTTaskService whil use it.

service.start is ok.

but when service complete, it brings a new exception:

I test task client of HornetQ, everything is ok. but how to use local service?
