My use case is very simple: I need to load all the pending tasks and show information about them (including variables). But I'm having some performance problems when loading those variables. Basically my code is like this: // Builds the process engine ProcessEngine processEngine = new Configuration().buildProcessEngine();   // Creates the services TaskService taskService = processEngine.getTaskService(); ExecutionService executionService = processEngine.getExecutionService();   // Loads all the pending tasks List < Task > tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery().list();   // Loads the variables for each task for (Task t : tasks) {        // Variable names      Set < String > variableNames = new TreeSet < String >();      variableNames.add("var1");      variableNames.add("var2");      variableNames.add("var3");      variableNames.add("var4");      variableNames.add("var5");        // Loads the variables      Map < String, Object > variables = executionService.getVariables(t.getExecutionId(), variableNames);                  // Shows variables information      System.out.println(variables); } The "taskService.createTaskQuery().list()" method is very fast, but the processing time to load the variables is very high. My question is: Am I going in the right direction or there is another way to implement this use case with better performance? PS: I've seen the JIRA request to include searching for process instances by variables ( https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2505 https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2505) and there are some comments about variable performance, but I'm not sure that in my use case I should have this kind of problem. Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/534048#534048] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
