Hello,
I have a BPMN flow which contains:
1. A UserTask where someone assigns a user to the process variable 'thirdParty', followed by
2. A MailTask that is supposed to send an email to the email address associated with the thirdParty user object, referring to them by name in the body of the email.
Why I want this: it seems messy and laborious (and not very OO) to carry around a set of process variables giving each property of a single user. Passing these into other flows via CallTask would also be a huge pain.
I tried just putting <activiti:field name="to"><activiti:expression>${thirdParty.email}</activiti:expression></activiti:field> (with ${thirdParty.name} embedded in the 'text' field), but I get an 'Unknown property' error.
Am I required to write a ServiceTask with custom code that takes in a process variable of type User and outputs several process variables? Or is there a more lightweight, out-of-the-box solution?
Thanks
Duncan.
