Java Delegate or Execution Listener?

[roleba...@gmail.com]

I have a task which sends an email to the customer. Which listener would you recommend for this task?

Link to the docs: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/latest/user-guide/model-api/bpmn-model-api/delegation-code/

No Listener, I would recommend a Java Delegate to implement the send task in the process diagram.

And code all the email stuff in the execute() method.

Kind Regards, Ingo

Ok, thanks!

Is there anything that speaks against the Execution Listener? I ask only for a general understanding of this choice.

Hi
As a principle, I typically advocate that business intent, eg send email is implemented as a delegate, whereas peripheral intent, eg logging, audit, statistics, security use execution listeners or similar. I guess this is along the lines of separation of concerns...
