how to get task status?

[abhip]

Hi,

I am using the taskService to create the tasks. At some point of a time,
I want to know the status of the task.
How can i get it?

e.g. If task is created, status of the task is NEW or CREATED.
when we claim the task, it changes to new state e.g. INPROCESS etc.

How life cycle of the task is managed? how to get the state/status of the task?

We don't currently have a concept of lifecycles for tasks which are customizable.
You could solve it with a task-local variable that stores the state as a task-local process variable.
