hmm..i am running out of ideas... I had the same requirement but I have acheive it it in JBPM 3 with an event...I think things have changed considerably in JBPM 4.. In JBPM 3 the task assignment mail template and event was called with the same name "task-assign" so I dint have any problem..The last piece of advice I would give is to find the event associated with the task assignment..and to find out how to trigger an event from the code as yours does not seem to do anything (probably the syntax is wrong) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4246368#...
