[jbpm-users] [JBoss jBPM] - process variables out of session

Hi, I use variables (business objects) in ActionHandler public class Task_ABC implements ActionHandler{ public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception { ContextInstance c = executionContext.getProcessInstance().getContextInstance(); Abc abc= (Abc) c.getVariable("abc"); .... do something ... executionContext.leaveNode(); } } Problem is that this variables are not registered in session, if variable has an association and I use it, I get an exception. But if I have variable class has only primitive attributes (String, BigDecimal..) it works perfectly. Workaround is to declare all association in Hibernate as lazy="false" what I don't want. But really interesting is, that if I change value in variable that it will be stored in db. That means that jbpm will register variables in Hibernate session but later and I don't know when. I don't use any special workflow configuration. This is snip set from my workflow interface: public class WorkflowService extends HibernateDaoSupport implements IWorkflowService { private static JbpmConfiguration jbpmConfiguration = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance(); public void startWorkflow(Workflow workflow, Map<String, Object> variables) { JbpmContext jbpmContext = jbpmConfiguration.createJbpmContext(); jbpmContext.setSessionFactory(getSessionFactory()); jbpmContext.setSession(getSession()); try { ProcessInstance processInstance = jbpmContext.newProcessInstanceForUpdate(workflow.getFullName()); processInstance.getContextInstance().setTransientVariables(variables); processInstance.signal(); } finally { jbpmContext.close(); } } Thanks Fero View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4168667#...
