How to control serializing complex data objects to logs?

[clp207]

I have a process that contains a data object. When the data object is logged to the database, it looks like a toString() is called, which results in an unusable object string being logged. Is there any way to control the serialization of the object (preferably JSON) so the logs can be used to keep track of process history?

Try to override toString() method in your object

Thanks. That works easily when building the process in Eclipse. For processes created inside the workbench, I have to checkout the project, override the toString() and check it back in. It is manageable, just wanted to be sure there wasn't an easier way I was overlooking.

But do you speak about Data Object in your business process?
