    Creating "service task" using process API

    sanbhat

      I have a requirement to create the service task (a task which is associated with  a service class) using Process API (Chapter 6. Processes) . I took the example mentioned in the Processes chapter and started exploring options. Here I found that, an action node can be created with a class, which should implement org.jbpm.process.instance.impl.Action (I thought this will solve my problem). But when I created such an action node, by supplying an implementor of org.jbpm.process.instance.impl.Action, I got the following error

       

      java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jbpm.workflow.core.DroolsAction cannot be cast to org.jbpm.workflow.core.impl.DroolsConsequenceAction

      Doing a google search yielded this result ([JBPM-4378] ClassCastException when dumping process with an action node - JBoss Issue Tracker) which seems to be an Open bug. My question is, is there any alternative? or workaround?

       

      I am using Jbpm-6.0.0-Final. Please help me with an advice. Thanks for your time on this post.
