When "myTask" is reached, the task can be queried among others as "assigned to ayusman" with something like      TaskService.createQuery().assignee("ayusman").list() Same holds with "candidate" attribute. Same principle again with "candidate-goups" attributes but this time you have to set a group and membership "ayousman" to it Regards jnh -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/589487#589487] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

If a user is assigned to a task directly into the process definition through the task note (<task name="MyTask" assignee = "Ayusman") and the process exection reachs the task node "MyTask" then: the task note instance of "MyTask" can be queried as one of those assigned to "Ayusman" from that moment: hat is TaskService.createQuery().assignee("ayusman").list() will return the task node "MyTask" of that process instance (among possible others task node instances), allowing you to step forward programatically. So if i'm understanding your question: yes if the task node is reach 2 days after the process instance has started, the task is assigned exactly two days after too. But please remark that it is rather the task node that is assigned '(among possible others) to the user. What you are doing programmatically then is: 1/ query all tasks that are assigned to the person currently connected to your app and 2/ display tasks for possible step forward to the user (some buttons and fields triggering Task.completetask() method).
