Yes that works. You could also use the setOwner method of the TaskService.

Best regards,

Hi,

I have a simple workflow with custom form.

I figured out a way to set the owner of the task and it seems to work fine..

public class ArchiveTask implements org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate { public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception { String assigneeName = (String) execution.getVariable("user"); TaskService taskService = execution.getEngineServices() .getTaskService(); List<Task> tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery() .taskAssignee(assigneeName).list(); for (Task task : tasks) { task.setOwner(assigneeName); } } }
Can someone let me know if I am right?

Thanks,
Barani

import org.activiti.engine.TaskService;
import org.activiti.engine.delegate.DelegateExecution;
import org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate;
import org.activiti.engine.task.Task;

import com.sysvana.provisioning.ProvisioningServices;
import com.sysvana.provisioning.ProvisioningServicesProxy;
import com.sysvana.request.Group;
import com.sysvana.request.RequestServices;
import com.sysvana.request.RequestServicesProxy;

public class CreateAssigneeList implements JavaDelegate {

@Override
public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception{

String groupJoinApproverEmail = "";

try{

String groupDN = (String)execution.getVariable("groupDN");
String screenName = (String)execution.getVariable("screenName");

TaskService taskService = execution.getEngineServices()
.getTaskService();
List<Task> tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery()
.taskAssignee(screenName).list();
for (Task task : tasks) {
task.setOwner(screenName);

Activiti 5.9 does not have that method yet. You'd need to upgrade.

You can retrieve the current process engine by ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine() in Activiti 5.9
Be aware though that this will create a new transaction.

It will create a new transaction and that means it doesnt see any of the data which hasn't been comitted yet.
