Something like this: http://dcalca.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/input1.png http://dcalca.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/input1.png You give it a name to use inside the workItem. -You can get the variable from work item parameters. public void executeWorkItem(WorkItem workItem, WorkItemManager manager) {                     workItem.getParameter("VAR_X") ... } - Define VAR_X as output of the node. It is similar to the input - Put this variable in the result map Map<String, Object> results = new HashMap<String, Object>();                                                   results.put("VAR_X", var) You can see that you are not directly accessing to the global variables.. you have inputs and outputs of each task..
