hi,
Yes you are right, these are not activiti tables.
Actually i create two additional tables in activiti database, named "service" and "relationship" , the first contains id, names of services and managers id. In the other hand table "relationship" contains id_service and id_user (foreign key of table service and table "act_id_user"), because in the table act_id_user i added somme users ( and each one is a member of a service and he can be a sample user or a manager)
For example i have i user named "u03" in act_id_user who is a manger of service named " HR" . so i create a foreign key in table relationship for tables "service" and "act_id_user"

Am i right to add additinnal tables ?

Thank you.

Any additional relationships you have between users is indeed best mapped in separate tables, leaving the ACT_* tables unaffected for future upgrade purposes. You can use any ORM-framework you want, just make sure transactions are shared across the activiti services and your domain services…

Thank you for response,
like described above i wnat to get current user in activiti-explorer (so like this i can know if this user is a manager or not).

Please guide if i miss something (because when i fixe user like this : String initiator ="U03" for example i get my result but if i use : String initiator="Authentication.getAuthenticatedUserId();" i get error in explorer :" unknown expression property ${verifManager.getManager()} ).

You find my xml and code below.

Thank you.

First of all, how do you get an instance of "VerifManager" on the process-scope? Do you set it as a variable, or is it registered as a "bean" in the process engine configuration (see user guide, section "beans". If none of the above, it just won't work. The expression-manager won't be able to know what class/instance you mean by just using "VerifManager".

Also, I see that your VerifManager reads the AuthenticationUtil.getAuthenticatedUser() as an initialiser of a private field… This will only be called once (on creation) and seems error-prone. Better to call this in the method that is guaranteed to be called by the engine/expression-manager…

Thanks for your response,

1) Yes i registered it in activiti.cfg.xml like this : <bean id="VerifManager" class="org.conge.VerifManager" ></bean>
