Thanks for this really long answer, Ronald. In my opinion you are right, escalation is a
very complex thing and can mean a lot and I appreciate the flexibility of jBPM but maybe
we should think of a basic thing to be included with the distro while replacing it with
your own implementation is still possible. Enable simple escalations without the need of
coding to give people a smooth start.
To me it is actually about a simple one right now. I would like to assign a task to
somebody else or take a transition to a second task assigned to somebody else.
I managed to use a timer to make the engine take a timeout transition after some time. My
question here: If you make the engine take the transition like this is the previous task
completed? Or is this the wrong approach and I should just change the assignment of the
task in jBPM?
I am thinking about the first one because business people often model escalations like
this: There is a transition to take when the task is completed or a different one is taken
on a timer event leading to a task assigned to somebody else.
If the task was marked completed when the timeout transition was taken wouldn't this
be a bit strange for reports on processes because actually the first person did not
complete the task but it was marked as completed?
