Claims Approval Task with Deadline Sample

Note that WSO2 EI is shipped with the following changes to what is mentioned in this documentation:

<PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/samples/ directory that includes all Business Process profile samples and their artifacts is changed to <EI_HOME>/samples/business-process/.

This sample explains on how to define a deadline with a human task. In this sample, the ClaimApprovalTask sample has been modified and defined with the deadline duration of 1 minute for the tasks with a claimed amount less than 10,000. In the event that the particular Claim Approval Task is overdue, the potential owners are sent a notification.

The following configuration snippet has been added to the ApproveClaim task.
