How to set the owner of a task?

[bbarani]

Hi,

I have a simple workflow with custom form.

I figured out a way to set the owner of the task and it seems to work fine..

public class ArchiveTask implements org.activiti.engine.delegate.JavaDelegate

{
   public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception {
      String assigneeName = (String) execution.getVariable("user");
      TaskService taskService = execution.getEngineServices()
            .getTaskService();
      List<Task> tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery()
            .taskAssignee(assigneeName).list();
      for (Task task : tasks) {
         task.setOwner(assigneeName);
      }

   }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Can someone let me know if I am right?


Thanks,
Barani

Hi,

Yes that works. You could also use the setOwner method of the TaskService.

import com.sysvana.provisioning.ProvisioningServicesProxy;
import com.sysvana.request.Group;
import com.sysvana.request.RequestServices;
import com.sysvana.request.RequestServicesProxy;


public class CreateAssigneeList implements JavaDelegate {

@Override
public void execute(DelegateExecution execution) throws Exception{

String groupJoinApproverEmail = "";

try{

String groupDN = (String)execution.getVariable("groupDN");
String screenName = (String)execution.getVariable("screenName");


TaskService taskService = execution.getEngineServices()
.getTaskService();
List<Task> tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery()

please help. I am using activiti 5.9

[jbarrez]

Activiti 5.9 does not have that method yet. You'd need to upgrade.

[sarkar92]

is there any other way I can set owner in activiti 5.9

[trademak]

You can retrieve the current process engine by ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine() in Activiti 5.9
Be aware though that this will create a new transaction.

Best regards,

It will create a new transaction and that means it doesnt see any of the data which hasn't been comitted yet.
