Optional email task CC addresses

ericsnyder — Wed, 15 May 2013 22:52:37 GMT

I have an email task. My "To" field is required but the "CC" field is optional on my form. When I do not select any email addresses for the "CC" field then I get an exception:<blockquote>Caused by: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Could not add as cc recipient at org.activiti.engine.i

For the time being I have just set my code to return an email address as a default. I do wonder if a check to see by activiti to see if a value has been passed (or a value of length > 3) before it sends the values to Apache rather than just assuming that the value has a valid email address in it. I have not checked the activiti engine code to see what is happening there.

Cc is also an optional field in the MailActivityBehavior class. But if you set an expression or so, then it might be that it returns an empty string and this is added to the cc field and you get the error. Did you also try to set the cc variable to null?

Best regards,

<blockquote>Did you also try to set the cc variable to null?</blockquote>Yes, I get the same result.
