[jboss-user] [jBPM] - Cannot get jBPM global variables to work

Andy McC [https://community.jboss.org/people/andymcc] created the discussion "Cannot get jBPM global variables to work" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/816964#816964 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to set up some globals that will be visible across all of my processes. To test it I've created the attached diagram (TestGlobal.bpmn2) which * defines a single global string variable (globVar) * tries to set it using a script task and the command kcontext.getKnowledgeRuntime().setGlobal("globVar", "a value") (as stated in the manual). * tries to display it using kcontext.getKnowledgeRuntime().getGlobal("globVar"). The process compiles but when I run it from gwt-console but it throws a runtime error with the following text (full extract in error_message.txt, attached): * +org.jbpm.workflow.instance.WorkflowRuntimeException: [defaultPackage.TestGlobal:69 - Set global:2] -- unable to execute Action: Unexpected global [globVar]+ This suggests that it is not sufficient to declare globVar as a global at the process level. In an earlier effort, the display task simply tried to print the value of globVar to the log using System.out.println("Global variable:" + globVar) but this version did not even compile, complaining that globVar did not resolve to a type. So far as I can tell I've worked in accordance with the manual - but realise there may be a key step I've missed. Can anyone help? Thanks Andy McC My config: jBPM-5.4.0.Final, Windows 7 and 8, working via drools-guvnor and jbpm-console (not eclipse) -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/816964#816964] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
