In the Freemarker template attached to my task node, if I have a form field that references a process variable of a simple type, String e.g., [input type="text" name="stringProcVar" value="${stringProcVar}"] the process variable stringProcVar is updated on form submit. However, if I have a form field that references 'objvar', a process variable that is of type 'hibernate entity with a string id': [input type="text" name="objvar.property" value="${objvar.property}"] the properties of 'objvar' are displayed correctly in the form. However, updates to the value (input field on form post) do not update objvar's properties. Instead, a new process variable is created: (server.log) DEBUG [org.jbpm.pvm.internal.model.ScopeInstanceImpl] (http-127.0.0.1-8080-5) create variable 'objvar.property' in 'execution[ESP-9]' with value 'abc123' Is this something that should work? If so, what should the field 'name' property be set to? Thanks, Mark View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4261335#...
