What is the correct way to get a processinstance context variable map if we only want to use it for "read-only" access to look up variable values outside of a jbpm session? For example, here is an experimental method to retrieve a handle to a context variable map, but since the method opens and closes a session, is the handle still pointing to a valid map, or should we make a copy of the map to return from the method? | public static Map getProcessVariableMap(long LprocessId) throws Exception | { | Map mapVariables; | | if (jbpmConfiguration == null) | jbpmConfiguration = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance(); | | JbpmContext jbpmContext = null; | | try | { | jbpmContext = jbpmConfiguration.createJbpmContext(); | | ProcessInstance procinst = jbpmContext.getProcessInstance(LprocessId); | | mapVariables = procinst.getContextInstance().getVariables(); | } | finally | { | if (jbpmContext != null) jbpmContext.close(); | } | | return mapVariables; | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4137816#...
