Yes, task server stores only user or group id, which is supposed to be a "small representation". Unfortunately, the way it interprets this id assumes the server "knows" if any given id is valid, thus it keeps whole lot much more info than just a handle to lookup external data source. If task server kept merely IDs (for users and groups), adding a task would never fail assuming Task.createdBy.id contains any non empty string. But the above transaction fails the very moment server encounters an id, which is not yet in its local database. So what? First, I like the (much advocated) idea of decoupling bpm engine and task server. Ideally, decoupling means that I can use any 3rd party task server (assuming, it complies to jBPM task server protocol). As a matter of fact, now I use jBPM demo task server and my implementation (that uses MySQL database) interchangeably, assuming user id is krisv. But unfortunately(?) the protocol does not allow pushing user and group id's to the task server. Second, I can't afford offering solution that uses unnecessary data replication. Yes, I know you did :) I have seen the org.jbpm.userprofile package. Unfortunately I see no way how it could be used at the moment... Well, as long as I need solution rather quickly, I am going to either patch the TaskServiceSession or build "addTask" rules to automatically create missing users and groups prior to persisting the task. Any comments on this approach (do you see any side effects?) or any alternate workarounds are highly appreciated.

Do you know how to manage group membership or swimlane usage ? thanks -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/606633#606633] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
