Getting variables instances

[ricardomarques]

hello

I'm having some trouble accessing process variables to user input.

I'm retrieving the information remotly width:

Command cmd = new GetTaskInstanceCommand(tid);
Object result = getEjbClient().getCommandService().execute(cmd);
this.taskInstance = (TaskInstance) result;

When I debug my application and check the Map that contains the variables is null. And on the database for this task instance the variables are on the table.

I don't know if this way is the rigth way to go, so... any help on this would be appreciated

I'm using the holiday request for this, the definition follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition
 xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="holiday-request">
 <swimlane name="initiator">
 <assignment expression="user(grover)"></assignment>
 </swimlane>
 <start-state name="enter request">
 <task name="request entry" swimlane="initiator">
 <controller>
 <variable name="start date" access="read,write,required"></variable>
 <variable name="duration" access="read,write,required"></variable>
 </controller>
 </task>
 <transition name="" to="evaluate request"></transition>
 </start-state>
 <end-state name="end"></end-state>
 <task-node name="evaluate request">
 <task name="entry evaluation" swimlane="initiator">
 <controller>
 <variable name="start date" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="duration" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="info" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="decision"></variable>
 </controller>
 </task>
 <transition name="More info needed" to="give addition info"></transition>
 <transition name="approve/disapprove" to="end"></transition>
 </task-node>
 <task-node name="give addition info">
 <task name="additional info entry" swimlane="initiator">
 <controller>
 <variable name="start date" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="duration" access="read"></variable>
 <variable name="info"></variable>
 </controller>
 </task>
 <transition name="" to="evaluate request"></transition>
 </task-node>
</process-definition>

PS: Sorry the bad english.

BTW i turn the debug and I get this:

17:30:57,484 DEBUG [AbstractFlushingEventListener] Flushing entities and processing referenced collections
17:30:57,484 DEBUG [Collections] Collection found: [org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance.variableInstances#11], was: [org.jbpm.taskmgmt.exe.TaskInstance.variableInstances#11] (uninitialized)

Is it supose to be (uninitialized) ? Am I doing this the wrong way?
