[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBPM-2821) Adding a variable converter to jBPM is not intuitive and the documentation is lacking.

Adding a variable converter to jBPM is not intuitive and the documentation is lacking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-2821 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBPM-2821 Project: jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Runtime Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 4.3 Reporter: Jochen Mader Fix For: jBPM 4.x To add a converter to jBPM it's currently required to add it in two places: jbpm.variables.types.xml and jbpm.execution.hbm.xml There are two issues with this: 1) I don't think it's a good approach to be required to edit two files to get the converter enabled. 2) The second file is an internal hibernate mapping file for jBPM and shouldn't be edited by a user for something as simple as adding a converter. At the very least the whole thing should be added to the documentation. Even better would be to enable converters by just adding them to jbpm.variables.types.xml
