I was wondering if someone might be able to assist with this. I have a process with a custom task and User Task, I have Map and couple of Strings def ined as process variables. When the process goes to human task, and I retrieve the Content for the Task via the TaskClient using Mina, I am unable to restore the Map. I found the following in the HumanTaskExample and it is exactly what I was doing  Content content = getContentResponseHandler.getContent(); ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(content.getContent()); ObjectInputStream in; in = newObjectInputStream(bis); Object result = in.readObject(); in.close(); Map<?, ?> map = (Map<?, ?>) result; The problem is that "result" at this point is seen as a java.lang.String. All of my data is there when I print it out but I am unable to cast it back to a map. My process variable Map is being set when I complete the previous workitem Am I missing something here? Looking at the JBPM source and examples it seems like this should work. I'd appreciate all input, thanks. -Scott. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/625599#625599] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
