[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: Modifying a process already in progress

[lfelser]

Definitely looking to solve the general case.

In the typical case, the process is not changed once started, but occasionally either the task assignment has to change (prior to the task being assigned) or a new user and new task assigned. Sometimes the task is removed, but that's a relatively easy case that I've got working now.

Some notes:

1) assignments can't be taken from a pool for the tasks. They are very specific and are set up when the process is created (using custom assignment handlers that get the assignment name from the data given in the process definition's XML).

2) each process definition is unique because of the above.

3) we have custom web-based process authoring that allows the process author to assign variable numbers of parallel tasks. The forks and joins are added by my code in this case. While the processes always have the same general sequence, entire sets of nodes may not be created if the process author has decided that those steps are not necessary for a particular case. Being red-blooded human users though, they sometimes change their minds.
