complete() : Complete a task and update process variables.

submitUserTask() : Complete a task and update process variables using a form submit. There are two difference between this method and the complete method:

  • If the task is in state PENDING - ie. has been delegated before, it is not completed but resolved. Otherwise it will be completed.

  • If the task has Form Field Metadata defined, the process engine will perform backend validation for any form fields which have validators defined.
