[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - swimlane task assignment in process definition not working

[jeffcwang]

Hello,

I searched the forum and couldn't find any answer.  I have created a new process definition (based on the websale example) along with tasks and forms.  However, when I try to assign an actor to a task via a swimlane, it doesn't work.  The assigned actor is always "manager", even when i specify the actor to be "shipper" or "programmer" (I added it to the jbpm_user table in db).  I checked out the database and the actor_id is correct in jbpm_swimlane table; however in the jbpm_swimlaneinstance table, it is mysteriously always the manager actor id.  I am using JBPM 3.2.1.


Two questions:


(1) Why is assignment not working?
(2) Does assignment even matter?  In the websale example, I can login as any user and do the tasks, even when assigned to a different person.

Here is the process def code:


  | 
  | 
  | <process-definition  xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2"  name="cb_9_1">
  | 
  | 
  | 	<!-- SWIMLANES (= process roles) -->
  | 	<swimlane name="programmer">
  |     	<assignment actor-id="programmer" />
  |   	</swimlane>
  |   	
  |   	<swimlane name="accountant">
  |     	<assignment actor-id="shipper" />
  |   	</swimlane>
  | 
  | 	<start-state name="formatting">
  | 		<task swimlane="programmer" />
  | 		<transition   to="clean-up"></transition>
  | 	</start-state>
  | 
  | 	<task-node name="clean-up">
  | 		<task swimlane="accountant" />
  | 		<transition to="create seed list"></transition>
  | 	</task-node>
  | 
  | 	<task-node name="create seed list">
  | 		<task swimlane="accountant" />
  | 		<transition  to="END"></transition>
  | 	</task-node>
  | 
  | 
  | 	<end-state name="END"></end-state>
  | 
  | 
  | </process-definition>
  |
