activiti:dueDate data type / expression language issue

thilo_ginkel

Hi there,

I am trying to set a due date for a user task in a BPMN XML file by means of the activiti:dueDate attribute.

Unfortunately, I was not yet successful to attach the correct data type to this attribute. Entering a plain ISO date ends up as a java.lang.String. Is there a way in JUEL to convert a string into a java.util.Date?

Thanks,
Thilo

Can you post the snippet of process xml you are using?

Can you post the snippet of process xml you are using?

Sure:

<userTask id="taskA1" name="Test Task" activiti:assignee="testUser1" activiti:dueDate="${???('1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00')}"><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <documentation>Task A1</documentation><br></userTask>

What I am not sure about is whether there is any stock functionality to instantiate a java.util.Date within the dueDate expression (thus the question marks in the expression, which is of course not valid this way).

Thanks,
Thilo

P.S.: Sorry for the late reply.

I Haven't tried it, but a java SimpleDateFormat might be used for that purpose.
