So in my Process parameters definition in the property sheet for the Process I entered myContext as an Object type and the fully qualified class name. Then in the "Parameter Mapping" section of my custom WorkItem I put the same "Parameter" name "myContext" and the fully qualified class name again in the "Variable" part. I get this Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Class cannot be cast to com.example.tdm.AClass Ed -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/620439#620439] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

And the same for Result Mapping.
