Yes - After scanning the documentation (no luck on this subject), and trying the various getTask*() method calls via several lengthy deployments, and then searching these forums, I finally figured out that I need to make the several calls. It also took me ... oh 2-3 hours to do what I 'feel' should have taken 20-30 minutes with decent docs and or API methods. Obviously, I was a bit frustrated - mainly because I think findPooledTaskInstances JbpmContext.getTaskMgmtSession.findPooledTaskInstances( .. ) is misleadingly named - here's the javadocs: | findPooledTaskInstances | | public java.util.List findPooledTaskInstances(java.lang.String actorId) | | get the taskinstances for which the given actor is in the pool. | | This documentation says nothing about requiring the actorId on a task to be null in order for the query to return results. I think it would be more aptly named: findPooledTaskInstancesForTasksHavingActorIdEqualToNull() - this is where my 'obscure' comment is coming from. In order for that call to work, when I add pooled actors to a task, I have to know to set the actorId on the task to null - figured out once I looked at the HQL query in the jBPM source code. Anyway - I think jBPM is a great software component - It has a lot of promise for implementing workflow-type systems - I also think the documentation is horrible - in contrast, the Seam documentation (which led us to using jBPM on my current project) is great.
