Get JBOSS ESB Variables in jBPM ActionHandler

[kuptservol]

The question is how I can get mapped variable in jBPM ActionHandler?(f.e. from executionContext)

I start jbpm process from esb with mapping variables:

<action name="create_new_process_instance"
                    class="org.jboss.soa.esb.services.jbpm.actions.BpmProcessor">
                    <property name="command" value="StartProcessInstanceCommand" />
                    <property name="process-definition-name" value="process"/> 
                    <property name="esbToBpmVars">
                       <mapping esb="body.fullname" bpm="fullname" />
                       <mapping esb="messageContent" bpm="bpmMessageContent" /> 
                       <mapping esb="BODY_CONTENT" bpm="theBody" /> 
                    </property> 
</action>

When i go to the ActionHandler class on some node in jBPM process i can't get this variables.

In a way like this:

public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception{
executionContext.getContextInstance().hasVariable("fullname");
executionContext.getContextInstance().hasVariable("bpmMessageContent");
 executionContext.getContextInstance().hasVariable("theBody");}

I get false.

Hey Sergey,

Just so I can situate myself, can you please make some kind of scenario to what you want to do?

Are you calling your jBPM process directly from the console, from a Java class... You know what I mean?

Grateful for your attention.

Best regards.

"You know what I mean", - Not very.

I'm not calling jBPM process. This is done by special JbossEsb action "create_new_process_instance" in my jboss-esb.xml/

Just like this:

Sergey,

Well perhaps the problem is because you're not passing any value (nor default) to your variables...

Try do something like this:

<action name="create_new_process_instance"
     class="org.jboss.soa.esb.services.jbpm.actions.BpmProcessor">
     <property name="command" value="StartProcessInstanceCommand" />
     <property name="process-definition-name" value="process"/> 
     <property name="esbToBpmVars">
          <mapping esb="eVar1" bpm="counter" value="45" />    <!-- Try this one... -->
          <mapping esb="body.fullname" bpm="fullname"/>
          <mapping esb="messageContent" bpm="bpmMessageContent"/> 
          <mapping esb="BODY_CONTENT" bpm="theBody" /> 
     </property> 
</action>

And where one can read value, one can also have default.

Try it and then let us know how it went.

Grateful for your attention.

Best regards.
