Hi, I'm using Jbpm 3.2.6. According to documentation http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3.2/userguide/html/taskmanagement.html#assign..., it says: anonymous wrote : variable(variable-name) means the user or group is taken from the specified variable instance. The variable instance can contain a java.lang.String, in which case that user or group is fetched from the identity component However, if I use the expression variable(variable-name) to assign a task in my process definition, and my 'variable-name' value is the name of an existing Group, an exception is thrown: Caused by: org.jbpm.identity.assignment.ExpressionAssignmentException: couldn't resolve assignment expression 'variable(RoleToObtainQuote)' | at org.jbpm.identity.assignment.ExpressionAssignmentHandler.assign(ExpressionAssignmentHandler.java:97) | at org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskMgmtInstance.performAssignmentDelegation(TaskMgmtInstance.java:313) | at org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskMgmtInstance.performAssignment(TaskMgmtInstance.java:267) | ... 130 more | Caused by: org.jbpm.identity.assignment.ExpressionAssignmentException: user 'IF-Other Maintenance Leader' couldn't be fetched from the user db | at org.jbpm.identity.assignment.ExpressionAssignmentHandler.getUserByName(ExpressionAssignmentHandler.java:209) | at org.jbpm.identity.assignment.ExpressionAssignmentHandler.resolveFirstTerm(ExpressionAssignmentHandler.java:138) | at org.jbpm.identity.assignment.ExpressionAssignmentHandler.assign(ExpressionAssignmentHandler.java:75) | ... 132 more It says the USER couldn't be fetched from the DB, but according to docs, shouldn't it also look if its a GROUP? As in my case, it is a Group, and that Group does exist in the DB. Any ideas? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4225825#...
