Are asynchronous user tasks being handled differently since the introduction of the Async executor?

Jump to solution

Asynchronous user tasks are being saved in ACT_RU_JOB table and marked with the type "message".

No entry is made in the ACT_RU_TASK table and assigned Users for this User-Task are not able to complete the process.

- Is the Message Queue based Async Executor responsible for this?

If yes, why are asynchronous user tasks handled as jobs ?

In the Activiti User Guider is stated:

16.1.1. Async Executor design

Two types of jobs exist: timers (like those belonging to a boundary event on a user task) and async continuations (belonging to a service task with the activiti:async="true" attribute).

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Elvi

User Tasks are not handled by Async Executors. If you don't see them created in the Runtime Task table, it may be a bug. Please create a unit test to reproduce this issue and raise an issue in Activiti project

Thank you Joseph for your answer.

I tested again and noticed a failed configuration of the Job-Executor (it was not started). The User-Task was saved than as expected in the ACT_RU_TASK table.
