Mail Task Listener

[jatz]

In 5.11 there are listeners for ServiceTasks but my understanding is that we do not have any for the other tasks. Our requirement may need to have a listener for the mail task as we will need to send one when start or complete.

Is there a plan to add a config for a listener to a non-service task?

Also, on the listener subject - I am not sure if there is a resultVariable concept as it is for a serviceTask.

For example say I am running a listener at the start of a service task and execute a java expression. If a result is returned by this I want to set it in the process variables using something similar to activiti:resultVariable.

Any thoughts on this?

No, altough you can have regular execution listeners.

No, only for the service and script task. Where would it makes sense otherwise

You can do whatever you like in the listener, including setting a variable.
