Modification on ProcessInstanceResource (web-rest)

[f_lombardo]

I would like to modify the ProcessInstanceResource of the webapp-rest application to get the taskDefinitionKey property like in the "Get open tasks for a process instance" api call:

At line 135 I would add:

        taskJSON.put("taskDefinitionKey", historicTaskInstance.getTaskDefinitionKey()); //<-
        tasksJSON.add(taskJSON);

Would it be possible? Could I add it by myself on the project repository becoming a contributor?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, if you can convince the core developers that what you did is a good thing in general.

For example, you'd have to explain the use case for you change. So, in this case, what exactly are you trying to do?

The API "Get open tasks for a process instance" returns the "taskDefinitionKey" property for each task, while the "Get Process Instance Details" one does not, and this is, in my humble opinion, a little lack of uniformity.
Since in my client code I'm parsing  these APIs results to create my "Task" POJOs, I would like to have uniform information from them.

Thank you.

Ok I understand. Can you create a new Jira for it, so we can follow it up?
The alternative, faster solution is to fork Activiti, do the fix and send us a pull requests.

I created https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1450
I hope it's OK.

Thank you very much.
