I initially post this to the jbpm forum but I think it is more related to the jboss seam forum. In the thread of the jbpm forum I have written to consider that entries closed since I planned to create this entry in the seam forum.
I have modified the todo example to add an xhtml form for the todo task.
The todoform.xhtml follows.
When I submit the form with "Done command" button, the description of the taskinstance is persisted in the database but not the variable1. The variable1 is created in the jbpm_variableinstance table but there is no value set (null).
So what I have done is to use the @In in the todolist component and then on the todolist.done method I save the variable using
TaskInstance.instance().setVariable("variable1", comments);
However, I don't think it is the way to do thing with jsf-seam-jbpm integration. That is why even if I have found a workaround I am asking the question.
Do you have an answer for that?
Thanks
