How to get notified when task is being cancelled?

[mariusz_cwikla]

As in topic: how to get notified when a task is being cancelled?  I have a process that is composed of a user task and a timer boundary event attached to this user task (cancelActivity="true"). In such case when timer is fired then current task is cancelled. I need something like a TaskListener on a task with event type "cancelled".

Hi,

You can add that logic to the timer boundary event or not? Because you know the task is cancelled then.

But afaik, you do not have a handle to the task, so you cannot send an email to the assignee

Hi Tijs,
no, I can't add logic to timer event, Eclipse Designer does supports listeners for timer events. I didn't found such information in user guide either (docs describe only time event definition - timeDate/timeDuration/timeCycle).

Ronald, yes, I want to get a handle to a task attached to a timer event that is being fired so I can notify user that his task got cancelled.
