[rules-users] Setting a Flow Variable from a Rule

[Kris Verlaenen]

If you have access to the process instance that contains the variable,
you can do 
  ((RuleFlowProcessInstance) processInstance).setVariable(name, value);

Changing the value of an object that has been set as a variable in a
process instance should also be taken into account.  Do you have an
example of where this seems to have been broken in the snapshot?
