Task's comment user

[jcavezian]

Hello,

using Java API

TaskService.addComment(String taskId, String processInstanceId, String message) 
‍‍‍

I can add a comment to a task.

But I can't figure out how to set the user, author of the comment.
Does any one know how to do that ?
Thank you.

Finally I could figure it out.
You need to call
IdentityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(String authenticatedUserId)before, in the same thread.
Hope this will help…

or use

Authentication.setAuthenticatedUserId(authenticatedUserId);
If you do not have the identityService, because that is what  IdentityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(String authenticatedUserId) does:

  public void setAuthenticatedUserId(String authenticatedUserId) {
    Authentication.setAuthenticatedUserId(authenticatedUserId);
  }

Thanx for the tip !
