<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Hey,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Yes, task engine based on WS-Human Task specification is part of jBPM5.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><ul><li>Does the BPM Suite provide templates to create human tasks? (If yes, please describe each of them briefly)</li></ul><p>You mean forms for human tasks?

(Functionality provided out-of-the-box?).</li></ul><p>You can foward tasks. Accept a task would be claiming it.

A task server is a separate concept. The jbpm runtime will communicate with task server to create tasks, and then you can use the task service API to manage tasks lyfecycle.
