setting Pooled Actor problem

mangar

I am using activiti and I am trying to assign a task to a list of actors. I have them in a String[]. I am trying to launch them in a web script. I set my vars like this:

Map<QName, Serializable> vars = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>();
vars.put(WorkflowModel.ASSOC_PACKAGE, wfPackage);
vars.put(QName.createQName(AlfrescoModel.WORKFLOW_NAMESPACE,"assignee"),array);
‍‍‍‍‍

the variable "array" is the String[]

my task def looks like this:

   <userTask id="usertask1" name="my start task" activiti:candidateGroups="${jiswf_assignee}" activiti:formKey="jiswf:myTask">
‍‍‍

I get an error saying "Caused by: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiIllegalArgumentException: Expression did not resolve to a string or collection of strings"

how Do I get a task assigned to a group of people without actually creating a group. What am I doing wrong?

If you are dealing with multiple users you need to use "assignees" instead of "assignee".

vars.put(QName.createQName(AlfrescoModel.WORKFLOW_NAMESPACE,"assignees"),array);

That did not work. It did not throw an error but no tasks were assigned to anyone.

Also does assignees assign a task to each individual user, or is it a pooled situation?

Does anyone have an example of how to set an ad-hoc String[] of users a pooled task? both how to set it in a web script and how the user task would be defined.

Im so desperate.

ok, If I set my task to look like this:

   <userTask id="usertask1" name="my start task" activiti:candidateUsers="${jiswf_assignee}" activiti:formKey="jiswf:myTask">
‍‍‍

and sent in my webscript user list like this:

  String s = "user1, user2, user3";
  vars.put(QName.createQName(AlfrescoModel.BPM_NAMESPACE,"assignee"),s);
‍‍‍‍

it works just fine, but I know that this is not "correct"
I want to send in an Array or String[] or something.

I have tried bpm_assignees, bpm_pooledActors, sending in List<String> String[] any and all combos.

I either get Not Serializeable exception (Which makes NO sense for a List<String>)

How is this to be done? A specific example would be greatly apreceated.
