To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/798550#798550 -------------------------------------------------------------- As mentioned in https://community.jboss.org/thread/221465 https://community.jboss.org/thread/221465, I need to reassign a task to a group. This isn't normally possible via taskService.forward as per the spec WS-Huma,Task 1.0 chapter 4.7.3 Delegating or Forwarding a Human Task : Forwarding is possible if the task has a set of individually assigned potential owners, not if its potential owners are assigned using one or many groups. Is there a good way to do it with jBPM ? For the moment, here's my working code, but it's kind of ugly : public void reassign(TaskSummary taskSummary, String username,     String targetGroupname) {     Task task = taskService.getTask(taskSummary.getId());     // check if username is in potentialOwners   boolean userInPotentialOwners = false;   for (OrganizationalEntity entity : task.getPeopleAssignments()       .getPotentialOwners()) {     if (entity.getId().equals(username)) {       userInPotentialOwners = true;       break;     }   }     if (!userInPotentialOwners) {     org.jbpm.task.User actualOwner = task.getTaskData()         .getActualOwner();       // we claim the task just to set actualOwner to current user     if (taskSummary.getStatus() == Status.Ready         && (actualOwner == null || !actualOwner.getId().equals(             username))) {       taskService.claim(task.getId(), username);       actualOwner = task.getTaskData().getActualOwner();     }       // if actualOwner is current user, we add it to potentialOwnersn,     // just to call forward - see     // https://community.jboss.org/thread/221465?tstart=0     task.getPeopleAssignments().getPotentialOwners().add(actualOwner);   }     taskService.forward(taskSummary.getId(), username, targetGroupname);     // forward reassigns the task.   // if the task was already assigned to other groups / users, those groups / users are not removed from potentialOwners   // we must do it explicitly   PeopleAssignments peopleAssignments = task.getPeopleAssignments();   List<OrganizationalEntity> clonedList = peopleAssignments       .getPotentialOwners();   for (OrganizationalEntity entity : clonedList) {     if (!entity.getId().equals(targetGroupname)         && !entity.getId().equals("Administrator")) {       peopleAssignments.getPotentialOwners().remove(entity);     }   } } Thanks ! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/798550#798550] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
