I bet it would be a great help, but if you look at the foreachactionhandler you'll see variables are already created and if you read a little more on jbpm, you'll see that these actionhandlers for nodes are 'identical' to actionhandlers that perform actions on events. Lots of examples of these, including ones which read variables. So the answer is: no, sorry. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4046281#...
