[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-1024?page=comments#action_12415097 ] Alejandro Guizar commented on JBPM-1024: ---------------------------------------- We could change Converter.revert(Object value) to take not only the value, but the VariableInstance itself. The VariableInstance has a reference to the storing token. In fact, this issue has been already addressed in CVS head: if (converter instanceof SerializableToByteArrayConverter) { converter = (SerializableToByteArrayConverter) converter; SerializableToByteArrayConverter serializableToByteArrayConverter = (SerializableToByteArrayConverter) converter; serializableToByteArrayConverter.setProcessInstance(this.getProcessInstance()); if(this.getProcessInstance() != null) { value = serializableToByteArrayConverter.revert(value, this .getProcessInstance()); } else { value = serializableToByteArrayConverter.revert(value); } } else { value = converter.revert(value); } I consider the above "fix" very inelegant, tough. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
