[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Why are there no task queues?

[estaub]

Every other workflow system I've worked with has had a Queue domain object, which is a persistent named repository for tasks.  They are used in both push and pull assignment models, and provide a point of control and extensibility to address specific task-management needs.

Actor pools are not the same, because they are per-task-instance.  For example, if a group of people pull tasks from a common task pool fed by multiple inputs, there's no way, beyond modifying the individual task-instances and driving process definitions, to, say, replace Huey and Dewey with Mickey and Minnie when Huey and Dewey fly south for the winter.

Am I missing something?
