To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/545903#545903 -------------------------------------------------------------- You did not mention which version of jBPM you are using. By default there are a couple of objects accessable via EL (at least in jBPM3). <string value="#{variables['lastAssignee']}" /> will create a String-object with the value "#{variables['lastAssignee']}". I believe you want to use <object expr="#{variables['lastAssignee']}" /> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/545903#545903] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
