Where to find ${emailBean.getProcessInitiator(execution)} and similar

[alexm123]

Hi, I am new to Activiti. Currently I am using Alfresco Activiti 1.0.1 to design a simple workflow.

First, I was using the step editor to design workflow, and there was an email task that email to the process initiator. When I export the model and import again, it becomes a BPMN model. And that mail task become mail to "${emailBean.getProcessInitiator(execution)}".

I want to know where can I read all those classes and methods because I need to use them a lot, (for example, get the email address of the previous task assignee, etc). I read the user guide, but it look like is for Activiti Explorer.

Thanks

The step editor is limited in functionality, and thus the emailBean will be limited to only cope for those use cases.
It's better to use either the Email service task in BPMN 2.0 or a custom BPMN 2.0 service task with Java delegate if your use cases are complex.
