Hi Maciej,
Yes we are using persistence. The api call to start a process and the call to get a process instance take place in seperate web service calls.
Here's the code:
org.jbpm.process.instance.ProcessInstance processInstance = (org.jbpm.process.instance.ProcessInstance) ksession.getProcessInstance( processInstanceId );
VariableScopeInstance variableScope = (VariableScopeInstance) processInstance.getContextInstance(VariableScope.VARIABLE_SCOPE);
Map<String, Object> variables = variableScope.getVariables();
Here's the stacktrace:
2012-08-17 08:47:36,324 ERROR [ProcessInstanceProviderJbpm] (http-127.0.0.1-8080-1) ProcessInstanceProviderJbpm.getProcessDefinitionInstance() - Exception!
