Ok, I think a get the picture but i still have some problems. First be aware that i'm using jBPM 4. @TejJBPM: anonymous wrote : The only system templates are "task-assign" and "task-reminder" which are by default present in jbpm.mail.templates. Whatever variables you want will work only under these two "SYSTEM DEFINED TEMPLATES" the current manual descibes the following: Table 6.15. task elements Element Multiplicity Description notification 0..1 Sends a notification message when a task is assigned. If no template is referenced or supplied inline, mail support falls back on the template named task-notification. reminder 0..1 Sends a reminder message at specific intervals. If no template is referenced or supplied inline, mail support falls back on the template named task-reminder So when i use the following | | <task duedate="10 seconds" g="36,108,97,52" name="Visa Conseiller"> | <assignment-handler class="be.axi.bpm.handlers.TaskAssignmentHandler"/> | <notification/> | <reminder duedate="15 seconds"/> | <transition g="-76,-12" name="to Inspection" to="Inspection"/> | </task> | | <mail-template name="task-notification"> | <to addresses=&quot;xxx(a)xxx.be&quot; /> | <subject>Assignment notification</subject> | <text>Task #{taskInstance.name} is assigned</text> | </mail-template> | I assume that task-notification is a system template since i don't point to a specified template name (and regarding the manual). This example works fine except for the context variables. But i also tried the implementation you describe above i think the code you supplied above is from version 3 This is how my code look: <task duedate="10 seconds" g="36,108,97,52" name="Visa Conseiller"> | <assignment-handler class="be.axi.bpm.handlers.TaskAssignmentHandler"/> | <on event="task-assign"><mail template="mail-task-assign"></mail></on> | <reminder duedate="15 seconds"/> | <transition g="-76,-12" name="to Inspection" to="Inspection"/> | </task> | | <mail-template name="mail-task-assign"> | <to addresses=&quot;xxx(a)xxx.be&quot; /> | <subject>Assignment notification (E-C)</subject> | <text>Task assigned</text> | </mail-template> But this code does noting at all (even not an Error msg). Is this event still supported in jBPM 4? Regards, Gert View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4246217#...
