Alfresco 2.1 - change jBPM timers programmaticaly

[pcuvecle]

Hi,

Now that the jBPM timer feature is supported in Alfresco 2.1, we are currently looking for a way to update them at runtime, in other word extend the duedate.

Indeed we are setting up business workflow where users may have the possibility to give an additional delay to a task before it expires and triggers the transition configured for the timer.

Does anybody have a clue about the way to implement this ?

Thanks a lot

I haven't attempted to adust a timer due date at run-time.  I expect you'll need to dive into the jBPM API.  At this time, I can only suggest looking at

http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/userguide/

or the jBPM forums.

The WCM workflow only allows you to cancel the task and re-create it with a new due date.
