I am successfully using jPDL with an AssignmentHandler to programatically assign a task.
<task name="review" >
<assignment-handler class="mypackage.AssignBySomeRule">
<field name="ruleName">
<string value="exampleAssignmentRuleName" />
</field>
</assignment-handler>
<transition to="approval" />
</task>
Is it possible to accomplish this with BPMN? I know there is a "resourceAssignmentExpression", but it isn't clear that this can do the same thing.
<userTask id="myTask" name="My task">
<potentialOwner resourceRef="manager" jbpm:type="group">
<resourceAssignmentExpression>
<formalExpression>management</formalExpression>
</resourceAssignmentExpression>
</potentialOwner>
</userTask>
Can the "formalExpression" invoke arbitrary java classes or does it need to use process variables to evaluate to a user or group name?
Thanks!
