I'm trying to set variables on a processInstance via the VariablesCommand executed remotely with CommandServiceBean, but it does'nt have any effect (variables are not set, no error in log).

I use the VariablesCommand in the following way:

Map variablesMap = new HashMap();
variablesMap.put("anzahlBier", "10");
VariablesCommand variablesCommand = new VariablesCommand();
variablesCommand.setTokenId(processInstance.getRootToken().getId());
variablesCommand.setVariables(variablesMap);
remoteCommandService.execute(variablesCommand);

In the log I can see that the execute-Method of CommandServiceBean is called an that the command is handed over to the command service:

2007-09-07 15:18:25,921 DEBUG [org.jbpm.ejb.impl.CommandServiceBean] executing org.jbpm.command.VariablesCommand@1bf756b
...
2007-09-07 15:18:25,937 DEBUG [org.jbpm.ejb.impl.CommandServiceBean] handing over the command execution to the command service

I'm using jbpm-jpdl-suite-3.2.1.

Other commands executed remotely work fine.

Any ideas appreciated!

cheers, johannes
