define new variables within workItem Handlers

[badda]

I have two work item handlers ( task1 calls Handler1 and task2 calls hanlder2). I would like to add/set a new variable in handler1 and retrieve the same variable in Handler2. How can i do this?

I don't want to predefine this variable as part of Task parameters...but i want to introduce new variables as the task executes.

thanks

AFAIK, you can't create process variables on-the-fly. If you want Handler1 to create a "new" variable visible from Handler2, then you need to define this variable in the process and to create the output mapping for Task1.

Thanks Esteban. What about in session? Is there a way if handlers know the session?

In 3.x jbpm context I thought we could set whatever new variables and access in other handles..

Thx
