Well I guess you can create your own custom task instance which can deal with this. It just requires overriding of the end() function and keeping a TaskNode reference. Haven't tried it but I guess this would work.

I mentioned this as an alternative in one of my earlier posts. However, the problem with this, is that it puts the burden of creating the mandatory tasks on us. Something we'd much rather let jBPM handle, since it does it already. Sure, it's not hard to make our code create the mandatory task instances, as we are already creating optional task instances, but I'm a big fan of configurability :) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3977679#3977679 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3977679 ___ jboss-user mailing list jboss-user@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user

It is very important that we have some optional node tasks created with a task node relationship, because we want some optional node tasks to block the task node. If 1 mandatory and 3 optional node task instances are associated with a given node, we want the node to be blocking until all 4 tasks are completed.

[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: Task Nodes - conditionally create tasks?
I think you can do something like: Adding a task definition directly under the process definition (and not in the task node) and play with this: * Then you can create a task instance of the mandatory task in the task node: + By using an event if you want to use the task definition under the process definition + By putting another task definition in the task node and setting "create-task" true * You can create the other task instances using event handlers for example. If you look at the test cases under org.jbpm.jpdl.patterns you can find some examples. Hope this helps, Olivier.

[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: Task Nodes - conditionally create tasks?
To add additional tasks during runtime, you'd have to create new task definitions. These tasks are already defined and created, we just don't want instances automatically started for every task def when the task node enters.

then why not have the task created by jbpm and ADD additional tasks runtime afaik that is a normal supported option.
