Hi there again! "kukeltje" wrote : You do not seem to have any variables declared in the tasks Errr, yes, I know. But any variable declared in the task forms is automagically available in other task forms that use the same variable names. Like: <h:inputText | value="#{var['quantity']}" | converter="javax.faces.Integer" | converterMessage="The quantity must be numeric." | validatorMessage="The quantity must be at least 1."> | <f:validateLongRange minimum="1"/> | </h:inputText> Even more: defining them in the task as well (in processdefinition.xml) makes the values NOT being available in other forms... This is exactly what made me ask how I can access a variable from a task form in jPDL (too bad the subject of forum posts is not truncated in the preview). "kukeltje" wrote : yes you need a controller there Are you referring to the Decision, or elsewhere...? By the way: I wonder if there's another way to define variables? I can image that in most cases one would not like to define the type and boundaries of a variable in multiple places, like 'converter' and 'minimum' for 'quantity' in both form.create.xhtml and form.evaluate.xhtml.
