Further testing reveals that there are NO variables at all available in the Assignment handler. I am using Jbpm3.2.6 | | public void assign(Assignable assignable, ExecutionContext executionContext) { | | Map<Token, TokenVariableMap> tokenVariableMaps = executionContext.getContextInstance().getTokenVariableMaps(); | assertNotNull("tokenmap shouldnt be null", tokenVariableMaps); | | Q. Since the ExecutionContext has only one method to retrieve variable ExecutionContext.getVariable() which seem to be based on the root token. How can a local variable bound to a token be retrieved from the ExecutionContext? any help most appreciated. many thanks -lp View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4243622#...
