[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - task instance in start state

hi, I went through the jbpm user guide about task instance, it's saying Task instances are typically created by the process execution entering a task-node Is that different from the task in start state? 'Cause when I invoke this method instance.getTaskMgmtInstance().getTaskInstances().iterator().next(); | right after I create the process instance, it will throw a NullPointerException. If the task instance won't be created automatically in start state, can I create it somehow manually? or I misunderstand somewhere above? Here is my start state definition: | <start-state name="draft"> | <task name="making a draft" swimlane="writer"> | <assignment class='com.test.WriterAssignmentHandler' /> | </task> | <transition to="review" name="submit"></transition> | </start-state> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4062270#...
