> Hi,
> why is there not the same functionality for transient variables as for persistent ones when copying variables from a superprocess to a subprocess (process state)?
> I have seen this thread
> http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=70407
> The proposed solution as seen in jira
> http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-399
> is implemented in jbpm 3.1.2 that I am actually using.
> I think this solution is simple  but does not fit for the most common case, that a superprocess calls
> a common suprocess and the subprocess does not know anything about the superprocess.
> More specific, there could be different superprocesses with different transient variable names.
> These superprocesses may call a general subprocess...
> Using the present solution forces the subprocess to know about all possible variablenames of
> all possible superprocesses - that's really bad! What we need is varible scoping.
> What can we do?
> Is it is not difficult to implement similar code for transient variables as you did for persistent ones.
> Patch for 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 following...
