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.

Subject: [rules-users] Human Task Work Item

From the Mina client, how do you get a work item associated with a human task?

I see the Task.getTaskData(), but I don’t see any easy way to get the work item as I need the work item inparameters from the mina client side.

Thanks,

Todd
