Service Task Class Definition with Spring

[frauke]

Hello everybody,

is it possible to inject the JavaDelegate class MyServiceTask with Spring?
I would like to pass some properties and would like to keep that out of the process definition.

<serviceTask id="myService" name="My Service Task" activiti:class="de.vps.test.process.MyServiceTask"/>‍‍

Ok, I saw the example in the User Guide, but I am still not sure how to use it with the DelegateExecution parameter, which I need to get the variables for instance.

activiti:expression="#{printer.printMessage()}

There are a few ways to do it:

activiti:expression="${printer.printMessage(execution)}", where printer is a Spring bean.

the printMessage method must then look like this: public void printMessage(DelegateExecution execution).

An other way to do it, is using a delegateExpression:

<bean id="myJavaDelegate" class="org…"> , which implements JavaDelegate.

And then do this: activiti:delegateExpression="${myJavaDelegate}"
