Starting a workflow in a pool (Java) [SOLVED]

jimcornmell — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 15:54:37 GMT

Hi All,Below is part of some code I'm generating to start a workflow task in Java. The problem I'm having is starting the task in a pool, rather than a user. If anyone can let me know how to do this that would be great.I've tried several things including setting the parameter WorkflowModel.ASSOC_A

Hi,

I'm not expert in workflows but do your workflow model reflect the use of pool ?

Abstract from Jeff Potts : http://ecmarchitect.com/archives/2007/11/19/785

<swimlane name="marketing">
<assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
<pooledactors>#{people.getGroup('GROUP_marketing')}</pooledactors>
</assignment>
</swimlane>‍‍‍‍‍

Hi,

Yep. Below is a hacked version of my workflow. One the job is assigned I can login as the user who has it. I can then pass it to the next pool OK. It just the initial commencement of the task which starts with the user who started it, not the pool.
