    tasklist and variables

    ricardomarques

      Hi I'm using the following process, and I wanted to start a work on a instance of this process, and give some input to the process continues.

      I access the user grover tasklist and start a work on a task instance using the class StartWorkOnTaskCommand, after this i wanna show the variables start-date and duration for user input.

      My problem is that currently after I start a work on a process I get the VariableContainer without variables.

      I'm bad understanding the way this works?

      cmd = new VariablesCommand();
      ((VariablesCommand) cmd).setTaskInstanceId(tid);
      result = getEjbClient().getCommandService().execute(cmd);
      
      this.vc = (VariableContainer) result;
