jBPM5 - Create dynamic user tasks at runtime

patricia_b Oct 18, 2011 10:33 AM

My question is if it is possible in jBPM5 (and respectively jBPM 5.1) to create new user tasks at runtime when using BPMN2.0 definition.

This is the use case I have:

- the current workflow execution step is a user task. And I need to allow the end user to create a paralel task or tasks, and that will need to happen at runtime, as that kind of decision cannot be taken when designing workflow definition.

thanks,

Patricia

Yes you can, that's why you have access to the task compoment as a separate entity.
You will need to create the relationships with the process id if you want to keep track that those tasks where created for a specific process instance or you can keep track of those dynamic tasks using your business entities.

I've created an example where I create dynamic tasks without even using a business process. that probably can help you out to understand how to implement your situation:
