In your code snippet, you are passing null in the endTask method. Hence, it is taking the default Reject as the outcome.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Hope this helps.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 15 Jun 2015 08:41:00 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/can-we-approve-a-task-through-java-api/m-p/284868#M237998 romschn 2015-06-15T08:41:00Z Re: Can we approve a task through Java API? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/can-we-approve-a-task-through-java-api/m-p/284869#M237999 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks romchn, that works perfectly.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Jun 2015 08:11:19 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/can-we-approve-a-task-through-java-api/m-p/284869#M237999 satheeshkumar 2015-06-16T08:11:19Z
