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? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/608065#608065] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
