You can adapt the current one if doesn't fits your needs and we can help you with that. If you want to create your own service you can and then using a workItemHandler you will need to create the connectors to talk with your new service as any other WorkItemHandler communication with an external service. But once again, why do you want to do that?

If your component do that, the only thing that you need to do is to create an implementation of the WorkItemHandler interface that will do the integration.

Process engine can utilize existing implementation of task server to maintain task life cycle and your portal solution would be more to provide presentation layer for your users. Whenever user makes an action, task client should be used to inform task server about what happened and then task server notifies process engine to continue with the flow. Task client should be used to get task list, task details (including variables, etc) as embedded component of your portal. That means that you need to pass variables back and forth between portal and task engine. One interesting addition to that is https://github.com/Salaboy/smart-tasks smart tasks by Mauricio, Demian and Esteban (apologies if I missed someone involved in that project) that provides abstraction layer over jbpm task client stuff (and mouch more than that).

Thanks for the help. So another quick question related to this, if i wanted to use the hornetq task service do i need to register the workitem handler or can i use the default one.  (Following this example - http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.2/userguide/ch.Human_Tasks.html http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.2/userguide/ch.Human_Tasks.html) I prefer the benefits of using hornetq.

Or do i need to override the handler and then repackage the jbpm lib in order to use it?

You dont need to stick to presetted human task flow which You can't change. Every company and even every task has different stepps possible and not every body can be suttisfied with standard solution. You could even use simpler and yet possibly more powerfill option: use subprocesses instead of standard user tasks, those subprocesses could consist of different possible human task flows so you even dont have to implement complicated flow login int your code. Here human task implementation would be simply start/finish support. Flow would be taken care by designed process which is better for business ppl who could change that human task flow or create new ones when needed whithout help from technical ppl or even server restart.  -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/645221#645221] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
