HuiSheng, I hacked that in my project but I have other customizations too, so not sure if this works in a plain jBPM4.4, however the variable table in the database is linked to the task with a hibernate map definition that has cascade="all-delete-orphan" so the variable should be deleted when the task is removed from the task table... but I am still trying to figure out the details -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/562453#562453] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
