Hi everybody, I'm currently using jbpm 3.2.6 SP1. I was trying to remove the identity component, so I searched the hibernate.cfg.xml file for the three hibernate mappings for User, Role and membership (the default one). I couldn't find them while I found two other mappings of the identity component and commented them: <mapping resource="hibernate.extra.hbm.xml" /> | <mapping resource="hibernate.identity.hbm.xml" /> Then I created a simple class implemented the AssignmentHandler with this simple behavior: assignable.setActorId("12"); I expect to have an Actor with id 12 each time I use any expression in my process definition but the problem is that while creating a task instance, it throws me an identity exception like: anonymous wrote : couldn't interpret first term in expression "blah" at org.jbpm.identity.assignment.ExpressionAssignmentHandler.resolveFirstTerm while I think it should not use the identity component any more ('cause of the configuration). Am I missing something or should there be another configurations? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance for your replies, --Sherry View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4233464#...
