"Human Task Assignment -- restrict based on process variables"

--------------------------------------------------------------
Again, I am not proud of the subject line but here is the question:

In general, I want to associate a node or task with a group -- however, subject 
to some additional restriction.

Using the term "task list" to refer to the set of tasks that an actor may 
claim, I would like a task to NOT appear in an actor's task list even if the 
actor belongs to the group associated with the node, based on some additional 
rules involving the state of the process i.e. its variables.

In particular, there is a rule that I need to enforce that an actor cannot 
claim a task if they completed some previous task -- in other words, for a 
given process instance, 2 tasks in particular must always be completed by 
different actors even if both actors qualify in general to claim a task 
associated with either node. Of course, many other such rules could be defined, 
but that is a concrete example that concerns me at the moment.

One reason I ask is because another product I have investigated (i.e. YAWL) 
does explicitly support such rules IIRC.

To put things in perspective, there are other ways I could achieve this 
objective however they would be outside jBPM5 e.g. a client app that removes 
tasks from the user's "view" of the task list according to such a rule. But I 
would prefer to do this within jBPM5 out of a desire to maintain all business 
rules in one place (well I suppose the hypothetical client could share the 
knowledge base with jBPM5).

Thanks!
