This is a nice feature to have, specially if you need to show something on the 
UI.

But, this will be very difficult to achieve as well. With FlushMode.Auto, 
hibernate can do a flush at any point it thinks suitable. So when you call 
"takeTask" method, hibernate may not complain at all, but at some later point 
it, when it tries to clear the action queue, then it will complain. So you 
never know when this exception comes.

One strategy for this might be is to have an exception translator at the 
DBSession level. But that will be almost as generic as Hibernate exception 
translator. So whether the Task is taken by somebody or something else happened 
to the task will be difficult to decide.

But the flip side of this is, a generic exception is caught to give some 
message which is more context specific then re-thrown - this will also pollute 
the exception stack trace a bit. As a developer, who is using Jbpm API, I wont 
like that to happen. I personally would prefer to deal in 
StaleObjectStateException and inspect what is stale and why. Custom exception 
on top of that may make finding to root cause a bit difficult for a developer.
