Hey guys,

I'm not sure if I got it right. So far i believe there are two ways to pass information to other nodes.

1. In the executeWorkItem method of a custom workItemHandler class I can put information in a map and use WorkItemManager.completeWorkItem(workItemId, Map<String, Object>); to pass the information to the next node.

2. I could use globals to store information inside

Is this right or am I wrong?

The problems I encounter are:

1. I don't know how to retrieve that map from that workItemManager especially when the next node is a gateway

2. When I use globals it is always stored as Object which is kinda unhandy

ty in advance
