Hi!

I am new to jBPM, and i currently do not understand how to pass process variables into a Java Task.

To start the java task i have this code fragment:

<java name="MyMethod" method="testMethod" var="result">
      <arg>
              <string value="#{test}"/>     
      </arg>

</java>

The java method:

public String testMethod( String testIn )
{
  System.out.println(testIn);
  return testIn+"_result";
}

To start the process i have this:

Map<String,Object> variables = new HashMap<String,Object>();
variables.put("test", "a test text");
pi = executionService.startProcessInstanceByKey("MyProcess", variables );

As a result i got "#{test}" and not "a test text". So what i am doing wrong?

And what is the best practice to pass process variables to a java task?

Thanks for help!
