If I have a <userTask> element in my BPMN20.xml process definition, I can add a <documentation> element inside it. Great.
But I cant see how I can do that with other elements such as manualTask.
Why cant a manualTask have some documentation? My app's usage of Activiti would like it 🙂
It looks like the documentation element is parsed into the UserTaskActivity's TaskDefinition object rather than in the ActivityImpl.
The ManualTaskActivity behaviour does not have a TaskDefinition.
Any reason for this?
Can I supply a patch to provide documentation for manualTasks?
What would be the preferred design?
(a) Add a documentation element directly to the ManualTaskActivity and parse it via parseDocumentation() from BpmnParse.parseManualTask()
(b) Add a TaskDefinition to ManualTaskActivity (this smells like a conceptual clash because a ManualTaskActivity is not assignable etc)
or
© Perhaps the documentation element should be refactored out of TaskDefinition to a more common position so that different Activity types can all leverage it.
