I guess first you have to get hold of the "workitemid" from the task data i.e. task.getTaskData().getWorkItemId(). a) Create a "Command" class which implements GenericCommand<WorkItem> b) Implement the method "public WorkItem execute(Context context)" c) Based on the workitem id ( set this value in your command object - constructor/setter) - get hold of the WorkItemInfo object through the entity manager and then its workItem ----- something like this StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = ((KnowledgeCommandContext) context).getStatefulKnowledgesession(); if (workItemId==null) { return null; } EntityManager em = (EntityManager) ksession.getEnvironment().get(EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER); WorkItemInfo workItemInfo = em.find(WorkItemInfo.class, workItemId); if(workItemInfo==null){ return null; }else{ return workItemInfo.getWorkItem(); } d) Then call the execute method on the StatefulKnowledgeSession - which should execute the above Command object and that returns you the WorkItem object.

I don't think you can get hold of workItem directly from Task ---- the only reference Task has the workItemId. May be you can serialize the workItem and set to the content of the Task( I don't like it) - and then retrieve it later --- else I guess you have to get hold of WorkItemInfo and then workItem.. Also creation of knowledgesession is not process/time consuming so I don't see any harm in there ________________________________ From: rules-users-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:rules-users-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Todd Pagni Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 11:57 AM To: Rules Users List Subject: Re: [rules-users] Human Task Work Item Thanks for the info. I was hoping there was a way to get the work item via mina. We have a client application that is communicating with the TaskServer via mina and it would be nice if you could easily get a work item that is associated with a task instead of creating a separate knowledgesession.

Hi, If a human task once in "Reserved" state is released it goes in the "Ready" state and then if claimed by a potential owner - should the activation time of the task change or not? If not is there any way to identify that at what time the task was claimed by another potential owner. Thanks Vijay

We just try to follow what is defined in the WS-HumanTask specification. Could you check whether this is a limitation of the spec itself or whether we did not implement that feature correctly?

Yes or you can create a jira issue explaining the expected behavior and we can implement it. 2009/12/14 Vijay K Pandey <VPandey(a)mdes.ms.gov&gt; -- - http://salaboy.wordpress.com - http://www.jbug.com.ar - Salatino "Salaboy" Mauricio -

Hi, In the Drools 5 - Process Task, persistence unit ="org.drools.task" defined in the persistence.xml (drools-process\drools-process-task\src\main\resources\META-INF) has the "Deadline" entity mentioned twice. I guess one of them should be "Deadlines". <persistence-unit name="org.drools.task"> <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider> <class>org.drools.task.Attachment</class> <class>org.drools.task.Content</class> <class>org.drools.task.BooleanExpression</class> <class>org.drools.task.Comment</class> <class>org.drools.task.Deadline</class> <class>org.drools.task.Comment</class> <class>org.drools.task.Deadline</class> <class>org.drools.task.Delegation</class> <class>org.drools.task.Escalation</class> <class>org.drools.task.Group</class> <class>org.drools.task.I18NText</class> <class>org.drools.task.Notification</class> <class>org.drools.task.EmailNotification</class> <class>org.drools.task.EmailNotificationHeader</class> <class>org.drools.task.PeopleAssignments</class> <class>org.drools.task.Reassignment</class> <class>org.drools.task.Status</class> <class>org.drools.task.Task</class> <class>org.drools.task.TaskData</class> <class>org.drools.task.SubTasksStrategy</class> <class>org.drools.task.OnParentAbortAllSubTasksEndStrategy</class> <class>org.drools.task.OnAllSubTasksEndParentEndStrategy</class> <class>org.drools.task.User</class> Regards, Vijay
