Thanks Santanu. getOutcomes does work, but the overhead of convert states to tasks is way too much... getOutgoingTransitions() always returns an empty list! - I think its broken - or maybe I am not using it correctly. Anyway... The requirement has changed: Now, we (me) need to supply the UI with the entire map at startup. As in: The UI starts up, and requests for the "action map" -> which is a list of who can perform which transitions. Unfortunately, I cannot find any easy way of storing role information with the diagram itself: the who can do what part. So, for now, I am thinking of adding an "allowedRoles" to each transition element. Will have to parse the jpdl file myself to get this information out of the file, but I will have all the data in one place. The unfortunate downside is that I won't be able to use the UI to edit the jpdl diagram... Is there an alternative way?
