Base Question

[mignag]

I started looking at JBPM some time ago, it looks great and very promissing, but now I'm finding it quite difficult to start with... lots of versions with lots of small details and bugs and little direct info...

For now I have a basic question:
How can I pass a value from a variable (that a user will input in the form) to a Class in an Action Handler in the next task?


Thanks,
Miguel

p.s.: I already have the value in the variable but don't know how to use it in the class nor update it after the work in that class
(if this can be done in the eclipse designer its perfect!)

you cannot 'pass it on'. If it is set in the process, you can retrieve it in the actionhandler of the next task by using context.getVariable("variablename")

Ok Thanks!
it's working!

So, isn't there any other way I can associate a variable in the form controller (in a task) and a field (variable) in an Action Handler in a Action?

Can I set a task's mapped variables (for example #{var['item']}) in a Mbean ? When yes, how?
Thank You!
