It is an ORM db schema. I don't think people have thought of task instance. Problem is task instance on its own is useless. It only gives you the task name, and few jbpm specific stuff. This is code I am maintaining so task details are in the variables such as what's being worked on but if I want to display what's being worked on, it means I have to get the task list and then get variable for each task. Now if you do a sql to get all the tasks then hit the variables for each task " n sql selects for n tasks min".. That's not really usefull... U would think the db schema would contain a column that defines a custom field or two where you can use it for whatever purpose. Granted this kind sucks from a purist point of view but in real world, it helps cut down on speed... so I am not sure if it is hibernate that's really screwed up... -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/745152#745152] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
