That is an easy task.
You must look the jbpm.varmapping.xml and you find something like that:
| <!-- java.io.Serializable -->
| <jbpm-type>
| <matcher>
| <bean class="org.jbpm.context.exe.matcher.SerializableMatcher" />
| </matcher>
| <converter class="org.jbpm.context.exe.converter.SerializableToByteArrayConverter" />
| <variable-instance class="org.jbpm.context.exe.variableinstance.ByteArrayInstance" />
| </jbpm-type>
|
This means that you have a matcher (that look the type of your class that you want to persist)
And then when your object match with a matcher you must convert it with a converter to a VariableInstance (more precisely a sub class that you define).
For an easy use I recommend you to look at the next pair of matchers and converters:
| <!-- hibernatable long id types -->
| <jbpm-type>
| <matcher>
| <bean class="org.jbpm.context.exe.matcher.HibernateLongIdMatcher" />
| </matcher>
| <variable-instance class="org.jbpm.context.exe.variableinstance.HibernateLongInstance" />
| </jbpm-type>
|
| <!-- hibernatable string id types -->
| <jbpm-type>
| <matcher>
| <bean class="org.jbpm.context.exe.matcher.HibernateStringIdMatcher" />
| </matcher>
| <variable-instance class="org.jbpm.context.exe.variableinstance.HibernateStringInstance" />
| </jbpm-type>
|
This two matchers have the logic to search in your objects that have an hibernate mappings (defined in hbms files) but with a Long ID (HibernateLongInstance) or a
String ID (HibernateStringIdMatcher).
So, if your object does not have a Long or String ID, this two matchers wont work.
In this case you must implement your own matcher and your variable instance, following the same directions. (like HibernateStringInstance or HibernateLongInstance)
I hope it helps!!!
