Hi, thanks for the help, I got it somehow to work.
But its a little odd, since the doc says:
"You may specify additional parameters that are used to pass on input data
to the process, using the startProcess(String processId, Map parameters)
method, which takes an additional set of parameters as name-value pairs.
These parameters are then copied to the newly created process instance as
top-level variables of the process."
Which implies that it will automatically be copied over. And it does
somehow, since I have access through the ProcessContext.getVariable(NAME)
within actions. But do NOT have access on a work-item level and a simple
mapping on work-item level will also not help:
... work-item-config ...
<mapping type="in" from="dc" to="dc" />
<mapping type="in" from="equipment" to="equipment"
/>
...
At this point, it is necessary what you have been descriping, I also had
to add
<header>
<variables>
<variable name="equipment" >
<type
name="org.drools.process.core.datatype.impl.type.StringDataType" />
<value>Whatever</value>
</variable>
<variable name="dc" >
<type
name="org.drools.process.core.datatype.impl.type.UndefinedDataType" />
</variable>
</variables>
</header>
I still do not understand why this is necessary for the work-item, and not
for the actions, but I can life with it.
Thanks, cheers, Rob.

in the process designer select the background and you will see in
the
properties panel all the global process configurations. There you will
find
variables, you need to register it all the variables that you will insert
with its types.
greetings
