[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: passing data to AssignmentHandler best practice?

[jmjava]

FWIW I got it:

Instead of hardcoding the assignment like in the base websale example i changed the process Defintion to be:


  <swimlane name="salesman">
  |     <assignment actor-id="#{taskInstance.variables['salesman']}" /> 
  |   </swimlane>
  |   
  |   <swimlane name="accountant">
  |    <assignment actor-id="#{taskInstance.variables['accountant']}" />
  |   </swimlane>
  |   
  |   <swimlane name="shipper">
  |    <assignment actor-id="#{taskInstance.variables['shipper']}" /> 
  |   </swimlane>

and after i create my processInstance i set the taskInstance variables in java code:

    // create a new taskinstance for the start task
  |     TaskInstance taskInstance = processInstance.getTaskMgmtInstance().createStartTaskInstance();
  |     
  |     taskInstance.setVariable("buyer", "cookiemonster");
  |     taskInstance.setVariable("salesman", "ernie");
  |     taskInstance.setVariable("accountant", "bert");
  |     taskInstance.setVariable("shipper", "grover");  

this allows me to assign the swimlane actors via business logic instead of hardcoding them.
