User development, A new message was posted in the thread "best way to get a process variable inside a java class  in jbpm4.3": http://community.jboss.org/message/524712#524712 Author : Sebastian Schneider Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/sebastian.s Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- When using java taks you have to pass the values of process variables into the invoked method. You can then use the values but not change the variables. If you want to have direct access to the execution and thus to the variables use a custom task instead of a java task. Refert to the user guide for passing variables into invoked methods and for more information on how to use a custom task. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/524712#524712
