Hi
1. This information will be in one of the attributes in the out of box payload that has all the Task details. Using APIs, first get Task, SystemAttributesType and try the method getAssignees(). Look at the API of oracle.bpel.services.workflow.task.model.SystemAttributesType. For quick testing, for a Role, assign some Groups, direct users and also some other roles. Then try all the APIs related to this.
2. I instantiated a simple Task. Sent it to Reviewer and then Supervisor. So I have 3 instances. Went to EM Console, and inspect the Flow and the payload for this instance. For each Task, I can see the input and output payload. In the payload, I could see a section like this, that has the JDeveloper Studio Roles associated for that task.
Other members can share if there is any other simpler way to get this.
Thanks

import oracle.bpel.services.workflow.task.model.Task;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import oracle.bpel.services.workflow.task.model.SystemAttributesType;
Task task = // Get this object using the APIs. Google to find lot of code samples for this..
Element taskPayload = task.getPayloadAsElement();
SystemAttributesType taskSystemAttributes = task.getSystemAttributes();
taskSystemAttributes.getAssignees();
// In the Task Payload from EM Console, this is the section I could see within the full payload
          <systemAttributes>
            <assignees>
              <id>MyApp.ReviewRequest</id>
              <displayName>MyApp.ReviewRequest</displayName>
              <type>application_role</type>
            </assignees>
          </systemAttributes>
