The JIRA issue for this is marked as closed, but it is STILL a problem. (http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-325) The priority assigned to the task in the process definition is not propagated to the task instance. If we look at the hibernate cfg for task ... | <?xml version="1.0"?> | | <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC | "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" | "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd"> | | <hibernate-mapping default-access="field"> | | <class name="org.jbpm.taskmgmt.def.Task" | table="JBPM_TASK"> | <cache usage="nonstrict-read-write"/> | <id name="id" column="ID_"><generator class="native" /></id> | | <!-- GRAPHELEMENT --> | <property name="name" column="NAME_" /> | <many-to-one name="processDefinition" | column="PROCESSDEFINITION_" | foreign-key="FK_TASK_PROCDEF"/> | <map name="events" cascade="all"> | <cache usage="nonstrict-read-write"/> | <key column="TASK_" foreign-key="FK_EVENT_TASK" /> | <index column="EVENTTYPE_" type="string"/> | <one-to-many class="org.jbpm.graph.def.Event" /> | </map> | <list name="exceptionHandlers" cascade="all"> | <cache usage="nonstrict-read-write"/> | <key column="TASK_" foreign-key="none" /> | <list-index column="GRAPHELEMENTINDEX_" /> | <one-to-many class="org.jbpm.graph.def.ExceptionHandler" /> | </list> | <!-- ============ --> | | <property name="description" type="string_max" column="DESCRIPTION_" length="4000"/> | <property name="isBlocking" column="ISBLOCKING_" /> | <property name="isSignalling" column="ISSIGNALLING_" /> | <property name="dueDate" column="DUEDATE_" /> | <property name="actorIdExpression" column="ACTORIDEXPRESSION_" /> | <property name="pooledActorsExpression" column="POOLEDACTORSEXPRESSION_" /> | | <many-to-one name="taskMgmtDefinition" | column="TASKMGMTDEFINITION_" | foreign-key="FK_TASK_TASKMGTDEF"/> | <many-to-one name="taskNode" | column="TASKNODE_" | foreign-key="FK_TASK_TASKNODE"/> | <many-to-one name="startState" | column="STARTSTATE_" | foreign-key="FK_TASK_STARTST"/> | <many-to-one name="assignmentDelegation" | column="ASSIGNMENTDELEGATION_" | foreign-key="FK_TASK_ASSDEL" | cascade="all" /> | <many-to-one name="swimlane" | column="SWIMLANE_" | foreign-key="FK_TASK_SWIMLANE"/> | <many-to-one name="taskController" | column="TASKCONTROLLER_" | foreign-key="FK_TSK_TSKCTRL" | cascade="all" /> | | </class> | | </hibernate-mapping> | ... there is no property for PRIORITY. When a task instance is spawned from the task, it always gets the default priority of "3". View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3962249#...
