Defining the type of a task variable in XML

[rjhdeboer]

Hi,

Quick question about defining task variables. I would like to generate a form based on the variables used in a given task. However, in order to do this I need to be able to determine the types of the variables so that I can make the appropriate type conversion. Is it possible to define the type of such as variable in the process definition source?

In the websale example I see in the forms.xml file a mapping from a task to a concrete JSF form. I want to try to make a form dynamically based on the variables in the task.

well, we are overriding jpdl name for the variables using syntax like

name:type

so if in a task I have a variable named SAMPLE of type INT we will design our task variables using this name "SAMPLE:INT"

We wrote a jsp page to understand and format the input accordingly to this syntax

hope this helps
