TASK_CREATED event fired after its userTask execution

cnirparis — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 11:36:56 GMT

Hello. I've defined in my activiti.cfg.xml‍ a listener class which implements ActivitiEventListener‍. This class tests the event type TASK_CREATED for doing some work before the task. But I have two problems : 1) I have to check the task name which has fired the event. I use this code :Task t = ts.

Problem solved. For getting the task name wich is created, you must access the in-memory objects, and not the Database ones, which aren't still commited. So you have to code that way :
<code>
public class ActionListener implements ActivitiEventListener
{

@Override
public void onEvent(ActivitiEvent event)
{

if (event.getType().equals(ActivitiEventType.TASK_CREATED))
{

    ActivitiEntityEvent ve = (ActivitiEntityEvent) event;
    TaskEntity t = (TaskEntity) ve.getEntity();
    String taskName = t.getName();
    String taskId = t.getId();
    String piid = t.getProcessInstanceId();
    String processsName = t.getProcessDefinitionId();

    System.out.println("TASK_CREATED - : Process " + processName + " - Pid #" + piid
      + " : TaskId : # " + taskId
      + " - TaskName : " + taskName
      );
}
}
</code>
This works only with UserTasks, not serviceTasks. By the way the TaskEntity class is not documented…

That's current. Committing happens at the end of the transaction.

TaskEntity is an internal class. In v6 we've interfaced all entities and we'll document those.
