How to get candidate groups or users from process definition before deployment?

[doganmesut]

Hi guyz,
We are trying to get candidate groups or users from process deifinition before deployment.
Because we want  to deploy processes by these given groups.
Is it possible to parse defintion or something like that just before deployment ?

P.S I dont want to get tasks candidate groups or users.

Any solution ?

use the BpmnModel to get the process definition info. Check repositoryService.getBpmnModel.

Process definition id is on the scene after deployment i think ? But I need candidate groups just before deployment . Because I need to deploy rocesses according to these values . If I am wrong please correct me.

Hi,

You have to parse bpmn2.xml and you will get candidate groups, users…. . I do not see added value in it, because user/groups are mostly evaluated in runtime in the expressions, and real assignment depends on the identity service status.

Hi Martin,
Do you mean parse it like a plain xml file ? Or is there another customized way which is provided by activiti to parse it  ?

Hi,

Activiti has parser too (you can use it if you want to)

Could you please show me a simple example ? Because I could not find a way to do it . It is enough a couple of lines code which shows how to parse it . Thanks.
