Thanks ! But no : )
The following topic is more close to my question: https://forums.activiti.org/content/whats-best-way-design-process-which-allows-user-recall-back-his-task

But I wrote the following code, given valid a executionId and a valid taskDefinitionKey:
<java>
final ExecutionEntity processExecution = Context.getCommandContext().getExecutionEntityManager().findExecutionById(executionId);
processExecution.setActivity(new ActivityImpl(taskDefinitionKey, processExecution.getProcessDefinition()));
</java>

But Context.getCommandContext() returns null.

What are the ways to get the ExecutionEntityManager ? From what object should I start to get it ?
