    • start

      void start(IUserData userData)
      This method will attempt to mark the process step as started for the current user. The start operation may fail if another process has updated the case, or started another task, in the time between acquiring the task and starting it. When the start method has completed without an exception, the case will be locked by the current user, and the either the complete or abort method should be invoked to release it.
      Parameters:
      userData - User that will start the task.
      Throws:
      AppException - This exception is thrown when the current task could not be started.

    • complete

      void complete(IUserData userData, IProcessCaseUpdates updates, String taskExit)
      This method may be invoked to indicate the process step has been successfully completed. The complete operation will unlock the case again, and merge the updates from the process step with the case data. This method is also known as "close task" in the documentation.
      Parameters:
      userData - User that marks the task as completed.
      updates - Object containing updates that should be applied to the case data.
      taskExit - The exit state of the completed task, may be null.
      Throws:
      AppException - This exception is thrown when the current task could not be marked as completed.

      void evaluateAfterComplete(IUserData userData, String taskExit, IProcessCase processCase)
      Evaluates the case after a task has been completed
      Parameters:
      userData - user that marks the task as completed
      taskExit - the exit state of the completed task
      processCase - the case which is evaluated

    • abort

      void abort(IUserData userData, IProcessCaseUpdates updates)
      This method may be invoked to indicate the process step has been aborted. The abort method may be manually invoked, but can also be invoked by a session that has been closed. This method is also known as "cancel task" in the documentation.
      Parameters:
      userData - User that aborts the execution of the task.
      updates - Object containing updates that should be applied to the case data.

      AppException - This exception is thrown when the task could not be aborted.

    • cancel

      void cancel(IUserData userData)
      This method may be used to explicitly cancel the task. Canceling a task may only be done for tasks that are not part of a process definition. Canceling the task will remove the task, and should not be confused with the abort task method.
      Parameters:
      userData - User that aborts the execution of the task.
      Throws:
