Arun V G [https://community.jboss.org/people/arunvg] created the discussion "Programmatically assigning a human task to a user/role in runtime" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/647282#647282 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi All, I am trying to enhance the JBPM5 Web Example ( http://community.jboss.org/people/bpmn2user/blog/2011/09/21/jbpm5-web-exa... http://community.jboss.org/people/bpmn2user/blog/2011/09/21/jbpm5-web-exa...) for the technical evaluation of  JBPM .With the support of the forum and the previous discussion I was able  the set the  example up in Jboss 7 ,Oracle 11 g environment . Further to this I have to demonstrate the capability of programmatically assign tasks to various roles and users . As of now the example shows that the Assignment of tasks to the users are done in the bpmn file as below <potentialOwner>         <resourceAssignmentExpression>           <formalExpression>john</formalExpression>         </resourceAssignmentExpression> </potentialOwner> As the configuration of users and roles in a customer application is bound to change  can we programmtically assign a task to a user  or role after checking the (runtime) configurations.It would be very difficult and hindering to propose that the User/Roles can be changed only by changing the process definition that is the BPMN file. Or in brief *I want to seperate User/Role  assignements from the process definition and want to determine the* *User/Role* *in runtime to which the  task is assigned. Is it possible Any hint ?* Thanks for the help :) * * -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/647282#647282] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
