Unexpected serialized variables in response from withvars/process/instance/ REST

[lukasz.dworski]

Hi,

I found surprising bahaviour when using REST service /rest/runtime/{deploymentId}/withVars/process/instance/{processInstanceId} - in response XML process instance's variables are serialized. (??)

When I set accept header as application/json variables are deserialized.

Unfortunately I can't use JSON (it's design decision in project I'm participating).

How can I handle this situation? Is there some kind of switch to set to make variables in xml deserialized? If not, how can I deserialize it on client side?

I'm using JBPM 6.1.0.Final

Thanks,

Łukasz

it is caused by jaxb map adapter that I believe is not needed but we are about to discuss what was the purpose of that as it might be there for some reason. Will update the post once clarified.

It is a Object serialization so you can simply deserialize it on client side - it will always be string

alright, this was fixed and will be available in 6.2.0.Final
