Hello,

I have the follwoing scenario:

1. I created activiti process to handle bug reports.
2. Bugs details will be sent automatically from my applications to an email address.
3. the email has an xml file containg the bug details.
4. I want to parse these xml files and start the ativiti process programmatically.

can anyone help me on how to achive the last action? how can I start the process and fill it is variables/forms programmatically and assign it to a user
Thanks in advance.

There is a java api for activiti, you know…. it is well documented in chapter 4… So please be more specific what your actual problem is…

You're doing it correct: by providing variables that are required when calling the startProcessInstance method.

What exactly doesn't work (I don't really understand the problem here)?

Hello,

Thank you, yes I figured that part out, I had some issues in th process design itself 😕

but now I have another problem/challange, is it possible to add comment to the task from the design itself? i mean in the process design. bcause am creating a ticketing system and people should see the full history of the tickt and not only the cureent status/task.

Also I have another question, where can I see/list the completed tasks? I can not find a task once it is marked completed, if it is not too much show me how in both explorer and using code.

thanks in advance and sorry for being a nobe 😕
