Process variables of type hibernate-long-id/hibernate-string-id don't work -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2474 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2474 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Runtime Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 4.0 Reporter: steven wang Assignee: Tom Baeyens Fix For: jBPM 4.1 In jbpm.variable.types.xml, the type bindings for hibernate types are as follows: <type name="hibernate-long-id" class="hibernate" id-type="long" variable-class="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.type.variable.HibernateLongVariable" /> <type name="hibernate-string-id" class="hibernate" id-type="string" variable-class="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.type.variable.HibernateStringVariable" /> but in TypeBinding.java the pasing logic is as follows: if (element.hasAttribute("class")) { String className = element.getAttribute("class"); // if type="serializable" if ("serializable".equals(className)) { matcher = new SerializableMatcher(); // if type="persistable" } else if ("persistable".equals(className)) { if (element.hasAttribute("id-type")) { String idType = element.getAttribute("id-type"); if ("long".equalsIgnoreCase(idType)) { matcher = new HibernateLongIdMatcher(hibernateSessionFactoryName); } else if ("string".equalsIgnoreCase(idType)) { matcher = new HibernateStringIdMatcher(hibernateSessionFactoryName); } else { parse.addProblem("id-type was not 'long' or 'string': "+idType, element); } } else { parse.addProblem("id-type is required in a persistable type", element); } // otherwise, we expect type="some.java.ClassName" } else { matcher = new ClassNameMatcher(className); } } else { ... maybe the configured class should be "persistable". but if I changed jbpm.variable.types.xml from "hibernate" to "persistable", I still can not save a process variable with value of a persistent hibernate object .
