The WI Handler will calculate a random value, put it into a Map using some key: Map<String, Object> result = new HashMap<String,Object>(); result.put(*"rndNumber"*, randomNumber); manager.completeWorkItem(workItem.getId(), result); In the process designer you will need to map the *"rndNumber"* result to some variable in your process. If you are using the web designer you have to add in the "associations" attribute of the Task: rndNumber->processVariableThatWillHoldTheNumber This is similar to what you have to do if you want to pass parameters to the Work Item.

If you need them outside of the process you can basically follow 2 mechanisms: 1. Create your external mechanism that the WorkItem Handler will use: i.e. pass a List to the constructor of the WorkItem Handler, the handler then will populate the list (no need to put the results in the resulting map since you are not going to use the value in the process) and then retrieve the value from your app. 2. Put the result in the map and pass it to the process (this is automatically done when you complete the WI), in the process definition you have to map the result to a process' variable. Then, when the process is completed, you can get the value of that variable using something like: ((WorkFlowProcessInstance) process).getVariable("nameOfTheProcessVariable") Best Regards, -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/719574#719574] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
