[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Re: required variables

[dleerob]

I found that code in the submitParameters() method earlier, which is why I thought an exception should be thrown. However, I've just tried again, and still no exeption.

My task definition:
<start-state name="Request For New Employee">
  |       <task name="Request For New Employee" swimlane="Initiator">
  |          <controller>
  |             <variable name="IsReplacement" access="read,write,required"></variable>
  |             <variable name="EmployeeReplaced"></variable>
  |             <variable name="TestVariable" access="read,write,required"></variable>
  |          </controller>
  |       </task>
  |       <transition name="" to="Financial Director Approval 1"></transition>
  |    </start-state>
My action class then completes the task in the following way, but I have added a few printout lines to make sure that my IsReplacement variable is null, and they confirm that the IsReplacement variable is still null, even after calling the end method.

if (completeTask != null && completeTask.equalsIgnoreCase("Yes")) {
  |     		try {
  | 	    		log.debug("Completing Task Instance: "+taskInstance.getId());
  | 	    		if (sys_transition != null && !sys_transition.equals("")) {
  | 	    			taskInstance.end(sys_transition);
  | 	    		}
  | 	    		else {
  | 	    			taskInstance.end();
  | 	    		}
  | 	    		messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE,
  | 	            new ActionMessage("task.completed"));
  |     		}
  |     		catch (Exception e) {
  |     			System.out.println("####Exception when ending task!!");
  |     			e.printStackTrace();
  |     		}
  |     	}
  |     	else {
  |     		log.debug("Saving Task Instance: "+taskInstance.getId());
  |     		messages.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE,
  |             new ActionMessage("task.saved"));
  |     	}
  |     	
  |     	String isReplacementVar = (String)taskInstance.getVariable("IsReplacement");
  |     	if (isReplacementVar == null) {
  |     		System.out.println("###isReplacementVar is NULL");
  |     	}
  |     	else {
  |     		System.out.println("###isReplacementVar is NOT NULL");
  |     	}
Please let me know if you figure out what's wrong. I will try a few more things and update this post if I find the answer.
