Hi Samisa, Yes, it does (and there can be several other features that have similar issues). There are several reasons to why this fails. The human tasks feature requires:
1. A database (H2 by default) 2. A human task configuration file (has default values). 3. A new datasource that needs to be added to datasources.properties. Now, though we have gone ahead with the feature management stuff, we haven't found proper answers to some of these questions such as: 1. How to pack a DB inside a feature or create it as a part of the installation procedure. 2. How to modify an existing configuration file by adding some entries to it. Simply because 90% of our features will work with a "feature installs some jars and copies some files" model, it does not mean that all features will work that way. This is why we are having issues with the HT feature. Its nothing G-Reg specific - if you try to install BPS features to ESB for instance, you'll be running into the same issues. So, IMO, unless we can find answers to questions like the above and propose best practices for feature-authors to follow, the feature management story is broken. Thanks, Senaka.
