[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Thinking about transition attrs

[brittm]

The process patch thread got me thinking about some things I've been wanting to see in Transition configuration.

1) Is anything in the works to allow a process designer to suggest to the UI that a user be asked to "confirm" a particular transition?  For instance, when completing a task, one option might be 'done' while the other option is 'cancel'.  If the user selects 'cancel', the process designer may want to suggest that he user be asked to confirm that choice.
Something like <transition name='...' to='...' confirm='true'/>

2) Is anything coming up that would allow the process designer to suggest to the UI that a transition should be restricted to administrative use?  For instance, transitions that you would like to be available to application adminsitrators or administrative tools, but not available to the typical user--I might not want a typical user to revisit a node handling integration 20 times in one hour, but I might want an admin to be able to retry it after the problem has been solved--same thing for some types of cancellation.
Something like <transition name='...' to='...' restricted='true'/> or refer to  a UI's roll based system with <transition name='...' to='...' role='admin'/>

I know there have be plenty of words put out discussing where certain types of configuration ought to go.  Thoughts?
