Governance Human Tasks

Overview

Overlord: DTgov uses an embedded version of jBPM by default. However, human tasks can easily be included in Governance Workflows because the Task Inbox is integrated directly into the DTGov User Interface. Out of the box, this functionality should work seamlessly. However, it is possible to integrate a separate task system by providing an alternative (custom) Task API implementation.

Customizing the Task API

Simply put, the Task API system used by the DTGov user interface can be swapped out by setting the following property in the DTGov UI configuration file (dtgov-ui.properties):

dtgov-ui.task-client.class

This property must point to a fully qualified Java class that implements the following interface:

org.overlord.dtgov.ui.server.services.tasks.ITaskClient

Of course, any Governance Workflows that create Human Task instances must also point to the alternate task system. That configuration is out of the scope of this guide.
