Associate a Comment with a UserTask at creation time?

Hi all, quick question… my client has a requirement regarding tracking history which seems to map well to the Comments
facility.  As such, I'm trying to associate a comment with a UserTask from within a TaskListener which is bound to the "create" event.  My code looks like this:

public class AddInitialCommentListener implements TaskListener
{

   @Override
   public void notify( DelegateTask task ) 
   {
      System.out.println( "UpdateInitialCommentListener fired!");
      
      ProcessEngine engine = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine();
      TaskService taskService = engine.getTaskService();
      System.out.println( "taskId is: " + task.getId());
      taskService.addComment(task.getId(), null, "UserTask CREATED" );
   
      System.out.println( "added comment for task: " + task.getId());
   }
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But, while this finds the correct taskId and throws no errors, the comment never appears in the database.  It seems to fail silently for some reason.

Should this work? If not, is there some other way to achieve the same effect?   This is Activiti 5.10, FWIW.

And you do see the logging being printed out?

I remember we fixed something a few months ago about calling services in listener. I don't know if that already works in Activiti 5.10.
