I'd like to define my actors on process level, not on task level. Doing so I'd
like re-use a sub-process for different actors who, in my opinion, are not
really part of the same swimlane. Like both a helpdesk employee and the
customer would need to fill in the same questionnaire at different points in
the main process. The employee is, at some earlier stage, assigned from a pool
of actors.
Of course, before getting to the task I could outject some Actor that is used
like:
<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2" name="survey">
| :
| <task-node name="survey">
| <task name="survey">
| <assignment actor-id="#{outjectedActor.id}"/>
| </task>
| :
| </task-node>
| </process-definition>
Above, the survey process would be included in multiple places in my main
process definition, like:
<process-state name="Customer survey">
| <sub-process name="survey" />
| :
| </process-state>
| :
| :
| <process-state name="Employee survey">
| <sub-process name="survey" />
| :
| </process-state>
So, above I'd need to make sure to outject the (different) Actor in multiple
places as well.
Alternatively maybe I should include some variable, which can then be retrieved
in some component that is used in the assignment expression:
<task name="survey">
| <assignment actor-id="#{taskAssignerComponent.surveyActor.id}"/>
| </task>
referred to by, for example,
<process-state name="Employee survey">
| <sub-process name="survey">
| <variable name="surveySwimlane" .../>
| </sub-process>
| :
| </process-state>
In either case, to directly outject the Actor property, or to invoke a
getSurveyActor() method on some TaskAssigner component, I'd need to know who's
filling in the survey, or which parent process invoked the generic sub-process.
I wonder if there's a better way?
Thanks,
Arjan.
