Hi,

i got a use-case, to be able to complete user task that have forms without the activiti explorer
i searched the java-docs and found a method called SubmitTaskFormData. ("Completes a task with the user data that was entered as properties in a task form.")

as parameters there are the task-ID and a map with properties.

can anyone teach me, how to use it right, so that i can "fill" the form from explorer, without using the explorer?
if i was right while i read this, it should be possible programmaticly by using the api  to call a form connected with a task outside the explorer, fill it in, take those data to the map and then complete the task

but i don't know how to do this exactly

Hi, not sure this is what you mean, but here's an example how you can work with that part of the API in a unit test. Obviously, if you're not running a test you need a different way to get to the TaskService (via the process engine), but this should give you an idea:

<br>final TaskService taskService = activitiRule.getTaskService();<br>final TaskQuery taskQuery = taskService.createTaskQuery();<br>&nbsp; <br>taskQuery.taskName("nameOfMyTask");<br>List<Task> tasks = taskQuery.list();<br>assertEquals(1, tasks.size());<br>&nbsp; <br>String taskId = tasks.get(0).getId();<br>Map<String,Object> taskVars = new HashMap<String,Object>();<br>taskVars.put("amount", 5);<br>taskVars.put("customerName", "John Doe");<br>taskVars.put("type", "iPhone");<br>taskService.complete(taskId, taskVars);<br><br>tasks = taskQuery.list();<br>assertEquals(0, tasks.size());<br>
