Does the process definition have any means to specify what data type the variables should be in? I have looked and dug everywhere I could think of, but not found much. Example: | <task .... | | <controller> | <variable name="amount" access="read,write" /> | </controller> | | </task> | What is the best way to make sure that the variable is saved to JBPM_VARIABLEINSTANCES as a long value or date ro other as opposed to a string always as it currently is.
