It seems unusual that jBPM API has methods to get lists of TaskInstances by actor / groups, but no global (complete) list. It makes it difficult to get a complete list for doing your own filtering. This applies to other objects as well. If we look at these objects as comprising a collection, it is natural to expect to find an iterator over the collection. Such global lists are useful for monitoring, troubleshooting, and many production cases, such as implementing a special user role who can work on anyone's tasks for any workflow, or filtering a task list by an arbitrary group of users. It seems like it would not be hard to implement in many cases, such as for TaskInstance. Can this feature be considered for an upcoming release? The main objects of interest would be TaskInstances and ProcessInstances. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4080643#...
