Setting Variable Types

falazar Apr 27, 2007 1:39 PM

Where do we set the type of variable that is saved from teh task form or the process definition XML

We have a few variables.. but everything appears to be saving default as a string

JBPM_VARIABLEINSTANCE Table has these columns
ID_ CLASS_ VERSION_ NAME_ CONVERTER_ TOKEN_ TOKENVARIABLEMAP_ PROCESSINSTANCE_ BYTEARRAYVALUE_ DATEVALUE_ DOUBLEVALUE_ LONGIDCLASS_ LONGVALUE_ STRINGIDCLASS_ STRINGVALUE_ TASKINSTANCE_
1

And we have a variable named "amount" that should be saved uner doublevalue instead of string value, where everything apepars to be save.

Read the UserGuide - in version 3.2, this is in section 10.6.

I am trying to get how to have that set thru either the process definition editor in eclipse, or directly from the process xml definition file. I cant see any kind of documentation where we can control this feature of how the variables are saved from teh web console.

If you want a certain type, specify it when you create it, ie.:
<script> <expression>Long myNumber = new Long(123456);</expression> <variable name='accountId' access='write' mapped-name='myNumber' /> </script>

This should result in your value being stored as a Long.

Hmm, Im not sure where you are doing this at...

Where is the script tag? for javascript?
I assume this is using the newer style XHTML...
I am using a 6 month old version, so I dont recognize some of this :{

nope, this is in the processdefinition. jbpm 3.1 already supports this.
