also not possible to leave a task on an assignment. Why would you? I miss the usecase. Normally you create a task, assign it to someone and than wait till it is acted upon externallly. e.g. via a web ui, an external command etc... and that should end the task which in turn will make it leave the tasknode. Just search the web a little, or look in the jBPM testcases. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4247861#...
