Yes, of course... But this way I'd have to do the reassignment each time manually. What I'm searching for is a more flexible, powerful solution for this problem. So what you definetly need is a database, rule engine, etc. you can get a or a list of proxy actors from for the currently assigned actor. These the task would then be assigned to, when the task is not being processed for a certain period of time, or whatsoever reason. For sure this can be done in jBPM using actions, timers, etc. But as it is a common problem, I thought there would be a generic solution, I could adapt and use, not having to reinvent the wheel...
