Thanks very much for your reply Esteban.
I am sorry for being a bit unclear. It is my writing style, and I am working on it to define problems in a more clear way :-)
So, if I have a variable "monkey" in my BPMN process (which is added to the map btw), where the user has given a value to in an .ftl form, let's say "chimp". And I want a rule to fire based on the value "chimp" I would write something like:
rule A
ruleflow-group "chimps_are_nice"
when
(Map)((WorkflowProcessInstance) kcontext.getKnowledgeRuntime().getProcessInstance(WorkflowProcessInstance(.getId())).getVariable("monkey") == "chimp";
then
(Map) (WorkflowProcessInstance (kcontext.getKnowledgeRuntime().getProcessInstance(WorkflowProcessInstance().getId()).setVariable("character") = "nice";
I realise I can store the path into a variable to shorten the code. But this is what it would come down to I guess?
I am retrieving the variable from the map, is this neccesary or can it be ommitted?
I assum to set variables I use setVariable, am I right?
