[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBPM-845) ransient variables between process and subprocess

ransient variables between process and subprocess ------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-845 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-845 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 3.1.4, jBPM 3.1.3, jBPM 3.1.2, jBPM 3.1.1, jBPM 3.1 Reporter: Harald Strack Assigned To: Tom Baeyens Attachments: patch Hi, why is there not the same functionality for transient variables as for persistent ones when copying variables from a superprocess to a subprocess (process state)? I have seen this thread http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=70407 The proposed solution as seen in jira http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-399 is implemented in jbpm 3.1.2 that I am actually using. I think this solution is simple (and buggy: it only works when you also habe some persistent varibale mappings!) but does not fit for the most common case, that a superprocess calls a common suprocess and the subprocess does not know anything about the superprocess. More specific, there could be different superprocesses with different transient variable names. These superprocesses may call a general subprocess... Using the present solution forces the subprocess to know about all possible variablenames of all possible superprocesses - that's really bad! What we need is varible scoping. What can we do? Is it is not difficult to implement similar code for transient variables as you did for persistent ones. Patch for 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 following...
