Swimlanes in Activiti

[cookie-exploit]

Hello Guys,

is it possible to use swimlanes in Activiti processes?

You can use multiple lanes within a process, but they are solely used as visual indication. Unlike the JBPM "swim lanes", the BPMN lanes do not influence the tasks' assignee.

It is possible to use lane name.
It is possible to add method "getLaneName" or "getLaneId" to the execution and then use it in task as assignee:
${execution.getLaneName()}I've implemented it in my local test and it works.
I'll be contribute this as soon as possible.

@iam: I'm curious how you've implemented this solution, so keep me posted on this.

@cookie-explooit: But for the moment (5.10), it's not possible to do this…

@cookie-explooit: But for the moment (5.10), it's not possible to do this… You can access the LaneSet's on the ProcessDefinitionImpl and their Lanes (inkling all flownodes inside that lane), but it's not exposed by the API-classes.

Yeah. But I don't know why it's impossible attach "diff" there for me…

Lane consists FlowNodeIds - activityIds.
On initialize ExecutionEntity we can define laneSets and lane from definition and we know what activityId execution it is.
And add getters for Execution.

I hope this will be added to the next Activiti version.
