how to assign two different assignees to different tasks?

[targa2000]

defining a custom advanced workflow, looking at the Workflow Lifecycle Sample:

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowSample_Lifecycle

This code here seems to assign the task to an assignee:

   <swimlane name="reviewer">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{bpm_assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>

I want to put in a second task that is assigned to a different assignee.  How would I do this?

<swimlane name="assigneeone">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{my:t1Assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>

   <swimlane name="assigneetwo">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{my:t2Assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>

Hi Targa,

I'm just learning this stuff too, but using a colon in those doesn't seem correct.  Just like you wouldn't put #{bpm:assignee} in there you would put #{bpm_assignee}, so I believe you should put #{my_t1Assignee} and #{my_t2Assignee} in there:

   <swimlane name="assigneeone">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{my_t1Assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>

   <swimlane name="assigneetwo">
      <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
         <actor>#{my_t2Assignee}</actor>
      </assignment>
   </swimlane>

Hi All,

    In first ,thanks for targa2000 sample.  Based on the example you provided,I have imitated an advanced workflow which runs through smoothly. Yet there's a problem there: under the " General " section,user can fill out relevant information like Description in frame box at the first step, but when it comes to the second step, there's no any frame box  is displayed for the user to fill out nor any information is shown up under this section.The same problem repeats at the following steps. Pls help to resolve this problem.Below are the codes：

Where is wrong？help me PLS.
Thanks.

Dear  targa2000,

I think I have the solution you were asking for. Al least it works for me:

In the processdefinition you should define both swimlanes, reviewer and reviewer2:

…
 <swimlane name="initiator"/>
   
   <swimlane name="reviewer">
        <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
            <actor>#{bpm_assignee}</actor>      
        </assignment>    
    </swimlane>
   
   <swimlane name="reviewer2">
        <assignment class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoAssignment">
            <actor>#{bpm_assignee}</actor>      
        </assignment>    
    </swimlane>
…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then, in the your model, you should add the standar aspect in the two task, same as if you had only one swimlane, but do it in each task:

…
<type name="new:asignTask">
        <parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>

        <mandatory-aspects>
           <aspect>bpm:assignee</aspect>
        </mandatory-aspects>

     </type>

….

<type name="new:asignTask2">
        <parent>bpm:workflowTask</parent>

        <mandatory-aspects>
           <aspect>bpm:assignee</aspect>
        </mandatory-aspects>

     </type>

…
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and you should also add the asociation in you web-client-config-custom for both tasks:

…
<config evaluator="node-type" condition="new:asignTask" replace="true">
   <property-sheet>
      <separator name="sep1" display-label-id="general" component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />
      <show-property name="bpm:workflowDescription" component-generator="TextAreaGenerator" display-label-id="newDescription"/>
      <show-property name="bpm:workflowPriority" display-label-id="newPriority"  />
      <separator name="sep2" display-label-id="users_and_roles" component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />

      <show-association name="bpm:assignee" display-label-id="newAssignee"/>

   </property-sheet>
</config>
…

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="new:asingTask2" replace="true">
   <property-sheet>
      <separator name="sep1" display-label-id="general" component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />
      <show-property name="bpm:workflowDescription" component-generator="TextAreaGenerator" display-label-id="newDescription"/>
      <show-property name="bpm:workflowPriority" display-label-id="newPriority"  />
      <separator name="sep2" display-label-id="users_and_roles" component-generator="HeaderSeparatorGenerator" />
      
      <show-association name="bpm:assignee" display-label-id="newAssignee"/>
   
    </property-sheet>
</config>

Am I being clear enough? I expect it to work for you too! =D

[evan]
