    Problems with variables in Start-node formular

      Hi all.

      I have got the following problem.

      I created a process definition with jbpm 4.

      To the start-node i assigned a form where the user can select the value of two variables.

      The first transition leads from start to a decision-node, where i want to evaluate the input. I assigned a DecisionHandler to do this.

      Using a JUnit-Test everything wents fine.

      When i deploy this to the jboss and want to start the process with the jbpm-console, the form is shown and i can select the values, but in the DecisionHandler i can't see the variables.

      When i put a human task between the start node and the decision, and assign view.ftl to this node where i show the variables i can see the values and after completing this task the decisionHandler also can evaluate the variables.

      Can anybody help me with this problem?

      thanks,
      steffen


      for a better understanding of my problem i will give you a short example:

      the test.jpdl.xml

      <process name="test" xmlns="http://jbpm.org/4.0/jpdl">
      
       <start form="start.ftl" name="start1">
       <transition name="to java1" to="exclusive1"/>
       </start>
      
       <decision name="exclusive1">
       <handler class="org.jbpm.test.TestDecision"/>
       <transition name="to task1" to="task1"/>
       <transition name="to task2" to="task2"/>
       </decision>
       <task assignee="alex" name="task1">
       <transition name="to end1" to="end1"/>
       </task>
       <task assignee="alex" name="task2">
       <transition name="to end1" to="end1"/>
       </task>
      
       <end name="end1"/>
      
      </process>
      


      start.ftl
      <form action="${form.action}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      
      <h5>Variable A</h5>
      
      <select name="varA">
      <option value="1">A1</option>
      <option value="2">A2</option>
      <option value="3">A3</option>
      </select>
      
      <br/>
      
      <h5>Variable B</h5>
      <select name="varB">
      <option value="1">B1</option>
      <option value="0">B0</option>
      </select>
      <br/>
      <input type="submit" name="Done"/>
      
      </form>
      


      TestCase
      public void testProcess() throws Exception {
       Map<String, Object> variables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
       variables.put("varA", "1");
       variables.put("varB", "2");
       ProcessInstance instance = executionService
       .startProcessInstanceByKey("test", variables);
       String pid = instance.getId();
      
       assertEquals(true, instance.isActive("task1"));
      }
