To assign the new task to yourself, you just do <assignment actor-id="#{actor.id}"/> Or, to assign it to someone else, outject subordinateActorId, and use <assignment actor-id="#{subordinateActorId}"/> To reassign a task you can use @In JbpmContext jbpmContext; | ... | jbpmContext.getTaskMgmtSession().loadTaskInstance(taskId).assign(subordinateActorId); But, just especially for you, I added a couple of new methods to the PooledTask class, so you can do it that way if you prefer.
