[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - swimlane task assignment in process definition not working

Hello, I searched the forum and couldn't find any answer. I have created a new process definition (based on the websale example) along with tasks and forms. However, when I try to assign an actor to a task via a swimlane, it doesn't work. The assigned actor is always "manager", even when i specify the actor to be "shipper" or "programmer" (I added it to the jbpm_user table in db). I checked out the database and the actor_id is correct in jbpm_swimlane table; however in the jbpm_swimlaneinstance table, it is mysteriously always the manager actor id. I am using JBPM 3.2.1. Two questions: (1) Why is assignment not working? (2) Does assignment even matter? In the websale example, I can login as any user and do the tasks, even when assigned to a different person. Here is the process def code: | | | <process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2" name="cb_9_1"> | | | <!-- SWIMLANES (= process roles) --> | <swimlane name="programmer"> | <assignment actor-id="programmer" /> | </swimlane> | | <swimlane name="accountant"> | <assignment actor-id="shipper" /> | </swimlane> | | <start-state name="formatting"> | <task swimlane="programmer" /> | <transition to="clean-up"></transition> | </start-state> | | <task-node name="clean-up"> | <task swimlane="accountant" /> | <transition to="create seed list"></transition> | </task-node> | | <task-node name="create seed list"> | <task swimlane="accountant" /> | <transition to="END"></transition> | </task-node> | | | <end-state name="END"></end-state> | | | </process-definition> | | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4074231#...
