Hello, thanks for your reply (sorry for taking long to reply too). Well at the moment I have applied an AssignmentHandler, the matter is that inside the AssignmentHandler I have to check on which node I am. if (node.equals("AssignTicket")) | actorId= getDeveloperName(ctx); | | if (node.equals("TicketResolved")) | actorId= getManagerName(ctx); That's quite ugly, I have tried using a barebones SwimLane just to tell the Task which kind of user is in the task........ | <swimlane name="manager" /> | <swimlane name="developer" /> | | <task-node name="AssignTicket"> | <task name="TicketAssignment" " swimlane="developer"> | <assignment class="assignment.AssignTask" /> | </task> | ......... | </task-node> | | <task-node name="TicketResolved"> | | <task name="Ticketsolved" swimlane="manager"> | <assignment class="assignment.AssignTask" /> | </task> | ......... | </task-node> But using swimlane="xxx" then the assignment class is not called anymore! Is there a way when AssignTask is fired to know the swimlane ? (if the task belongs to the developer group or to the manager group) I hope I have been clear........ thanks a lot john View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4176504#...
