Assign a user task automatically to line manager

[b_schnarr]

Hello at all,

we are using Activiti with LDAP. There, we have information about the user itself and in addition, we know the direct manager of each employee. Now, we want to model a process where an employee starts the process instance and a user task within this pooches gets automatically assigned to the employee´s manager.

The question is how to implement such a dynamic task-assignment?

Best regards
Ben

You need to have an expression for the activiti:assignee that delegates to some bean that does this lookup for you.
