Hi

I'm newbie to BPMN and activiti. I'm trying to model one of our business flow using the activiti. I've a sequence of tasks that need to be performed but those need to be kicked off by a human. The task is a java program (service task) but the execution should be started by human. How do I combine human task and service task together?

Thanks in advance

uhhmm… by putting the service task after a human task and have an almost empty human task? Or does the human need to wait for the service task to finish and then do something again?

It's sequence of tasks. Each task should be initiated by human. The idea is the task should wait for human. We don't want to automatically execute all the tasks.

That's what I said… put a human task in front of each service task that should not start automatically

Thanks for your suggestion. Let me try that approach.
