Thanks for your answer! But doesn't setVariable("data", "value") store the variable into the database? I am looking for how to get the value of the variable in the ActionHandler. So when the xhtml-form asks for the date like this: | <jbpm:datacell> | <f:facet name="header"> | <h:outputText value="Data"/> | </f:facet> | <h:inputText value="#{var['Data]}" /> | </jbpm:datacell> | and the ActionHandler will store the variable and its value via: | executionContext.getContextInstance().setVariable("data", "value"); | I need a variable declared in the ActionHandler called String data; and the processdefinition-file has to pass the value of Data to the ActionHandler - correct? But how to pass it? Cheers, Tina View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4121724#...
