Custom user task in Activiti Designer

bdietz — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 08:02:10 GMT

HiI want to create a custom user task for the Activiti Designer, that acts like a normal user task but has a couple of additional attributes, that I want to set using the Designer. I found the tutorial in the user guide, but that's only for service tasks and I couldn't find anything about custom use

A user task is also implemented as an ActivityBehaviour, just the same as a service task. The user task is just a service task that waits. Check the USerTaskActviityBehaviour in the source code.

Hi Joram,

thanks for your reply!

I found the class you're referring to, but I don't get, how I can use that for creating a custom user task in the designer. I see the similarities but I would want the designer to create that user task xml just with some added attributes, that don't even have to be interpreted by the engine.

Is that possible in a similar way to what is described in the user guide (for service tasks) or do I have to make significantly more changes to the code?

Thanks for your help!
Bianca

What is it you are missing regarding documentation?

Did you read http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#_getting_started_10_minute_tutorial? The BPMN section of the user guide has a whole section on user tasks.
