JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "Storing java.util.Collection on process": http://community.jboss.org/message/527010#527010 Author : Ruben Bentein Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/rubenbentein Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- I have a question about a best practise concerning processes with a dynamic list as a variable.   Let's say for example i have an process which has to store 0..* objects as variables. I.e. an process B   +public class B{+ +     string b1;+ +     string b2; + +     java.util.Collection<A> aCollection; + +}+   and a class A + + +public class A{+ +     string a1;+ +     string a2; + +}+   so before calling   +executionService.startProcessInstanceByKey("B-process-name", variables);+   I have to fill the variables map. But how should i add aCollection ? Should i do something like + + +variables.put("b1", someBObject.b1);+ +variables.put("b2", someBObject.b2);+ +for (int i=0 ; i<someBObject.aCollection.size() ; i++){ + +     variables.put("aCollection[++" + i + "].a1", aCollection.get(i).a1++); + +     variables.put("aCollection[++" + i + "].a2", aCollection.get(i).a2);+ +}+   Or maybe there is a better/cleaner solution. Or should i store these object in my own tables, and just store a reference (id) on the variables list ?   Thanks for any replies -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/527010#527010
