How to store variable in the database without starting any process

[imphilippesimo]

Hi everyone

i'm thinking about a way of storing a global variable in the jbpm database without starting any process so that, whatever the process is, it can get access to this variable.

i'm using jbpm 6.4, and, I got some ideas:

1)

I saw the interface KieContext.getVariable()/setVariable() methods, but i am not able to see any implementation of it.

i want to do something like this:

MyObject variable = someJob();

//store the global variable in the kie context

KieContextImpl.setVariable(variable);

//retrieve it whenever i want

KieContextImpl.getVariable(variable);

//starting some process with that variable

2)

Store the variable while constructing the runtimeEnvironment

but dont know how to do it?

Thanks
