Hi there,

When using Seam annotations I need to use annotation attributes that are not string constants.

In this code fragment:

@CreateProcess(definition="myProcessDefinition")
@Begin(nested=true, pageflow="myPageFlowDefinition")
public void startProcess() {
...
}

Is it possible to use variables instead of strings like: "myProcessDefinition".
I've tried referencing a private variable but I get a compilation error:

The value for annotation attribute CreateProcess.definition must be a constant expression

I know that this annotation in particular could be implemented using jBPMs api method:
public ProcessInstance newProcessInstance(java.lang.String processDefinitionName)

But I would prefer to use annotations (cleaner, compact code).

Is there an elegant workaround or do I just drop this annotation and call their corresponding api method.

Thanks for all your possible suggestions.

Yeyo
