To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/649727#649727 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Guys, The 'problem' I have is a bit difficultly to describe, but I will give my best: I use jBPM 5.2 in a Web-Application at an JBoss 6 AS with a PostgreSQL (just for info). I start a process in an Seam bean like this: public void startProcess() {              EntityManagerFactory emf = entityManager.getEntityManagerFactory();         TransactionManagerService tms = new TransactionManagerService();                         Environment env = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newEnvironment();         env.set(EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY, emf);         env.set(EnvironmentName.TRANSACTION_MANAGER, tms.getTransactionManager());                 Properties properties = new Properties();         properties.put("drools.processInstanceManagerFactory","org.jbpm.persistence.processinstance.JPAProcessInstanceManagerFactory");         properties.put("drools.processSignalManagerFactory","org.jbpm.persistence.processinstance.JPASignalManagerFactory");         KnowledgeSessionConfiguration config = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newKnowledgeSessionConfiguration(properties);             // load up the knowledge base         KnowledgeBase kbase = readKnowledgeBase(processid);                 StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = JPAKnowledgeService.newStatefulKnowledgeSession(kbase, config, env);           JPAWorkingMemoryDbLogger logger = new JPAWorkingMemoryDbLogger(ksession);                 ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler(LoadDataWorkItem.NAME, new LoadDataWorkItem());         ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler(TextOutputWorkItem.NAME, new TextOutputWorkItem());         ksession.getWorkItemManager().registerWorkItemHandler(ImageOutputWorkItem.NAME, new ImageOutputWorkItem());                 String id = "blackdata";         Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();         params.put("id", id);           process = ksession.startProcess("de.toni.new", params);           logger.dispose();     } My jBPM-Process only contains my own WorkItems. The process works great and all. In my process I have some process variables like: <property id="image" itemSubjectRef="_imageItem"/> <property id="text" itemSubjectRef="_textItem"/> That I read and edit in my WorkItems: String text = (String) workItem.getParameter("text");   Map<String, Object> results = new HashMap<String, Object>(); results.put("text", text); manager.completeWorkItem(workItem.getId(), results); The problem is, that these variables are in the process and not in the database. I thought, the persistence and serializable of all would save these in my db. So my question to you: How can I get these variables out of the process in a db? I hope you understand what I mean, if not, just ask. :) -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/649727#649727] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
