Tom, you can get it with following onExit definition, with assumption that you are looking for ActorId, similar you can get group assignment as well (GroupId):
<extensionElements>
<tns:onExit-script scriptFormat="http://www.java.com/java">
<script>
System.out.println(User of the task + ((org.jbpm.workflow.instance.node.WorkItemNodeInstance)kcontext.getNodeInstance()).getWorkItem().getParameter(ActorId));
</script>
</tns:onExit-script>
</extensionElements>
