It mostly refers to usage via BPM console and its components (RESTful interface).</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Sebastian suggested a quite complete solution for this with usage of already available methods in ProcessEngine.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>With regards to that I have a questions:</p><p>- how that user information should be exposed to the process instance/execution?</p><p>- is it possible to reference to it from jpdl?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Obviously this requires development in both jBPM runtime and BPM console. As a intermediate solution I would like to suggest to give users of jBPM access to request information on the form (both task and process). Since forms are freemarker templates it is a matter of providing additional objects to the context prior to rendering.</p><p>This should give users quite easy way to get user info and some additional stuff if needed (especially when executing via REST interface without UI).</p><p>Development affects BPM console and its plugins without jBPM runtime.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>What's your opinion?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Maciej</p></div>
