    getVariable and setVariable

    minslay

      Hello,

       

      I'm newbie with jBPM and I'm stuck with something I think it's easy but it doesn't work.

       

      I'm trying define a process dynamically with Process API. I want to insert a variable into my actionNode so, I create a HashMap and I use kcontext.getVariable().

      Now I get my variable into my actionNode and I can use it.

      Then I want to modify (or create a new variable) my variable and its value. I don't know how to modify it and use kcontext.setVariable(); also I dont know how to recover that value in my java code.

       

      Here my code

       

         

                          HashMap<String, Object> processParameters = new HashMap<String, Object>(); 

                          KnowledgeBuilder kbuilder = KnowledgeBuilderFactory.newKnowledgeBuilder();

                          RuleFlowProcessFactory factoryP1 = RuleFlowProcessFactory.createProcess("org.jbpm.Process1");

       

                          // My variable and value

                          processParameters.put("result",5);

       

                          factoryP1.name("Process1").version("1.0").packageName("org.jbpm")

                                    .imports("java.util.HashMap")


                                    // creating a new var

                                    .variable("resultReceived", new ObjectDataType("java.lang.Integer"))

       

                                              .startNode(1).name("Start").done()

                                              .actionNode(2).name("Action")

                                              // I receive my variable from java Code with kcontext.getVariable

                                              // and modify its value (now:6)

                                              .action("java",          "resultReceived = (Integer) kcontext.getVariable(\"result\")+1;" +

                                                                  "System.out.println(resultReceived);" +

                                              // I put my new variable with kcontext.setVariable

                                                                  "kcontext.setVariable(\"resultReceived\", resultReceived);").done()

                                              // another actionNode.

                                              .actionNode(3).name("Action")

                                              .action("java","System.out.println(\"Another Node \");").done()

                                              .endNode(4).name("End").done()

                                              // Connections

                                              .connection(1, 2)

                                              .connection(2, 3)

                                              .connection(3, 4);

       

                          RuleFlowProcess process1 = factoryP1.validate().getProcess();

       

                          kbuilder.add(ResourceFactory.newByteArrayResource(

                                              XmlBPMNProcessDumper.INSTANCE.dump(process1).getBytes()),

                                              ResourceType.BPMN2);

       

                          KnowledgeBase kbase = kbuilder.newKnowledgeBase();

                          StatefulKnowledgeSession ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession();

                          ProcessInstance processInstance = ksession.startProcess("org.jbpm.Process1",processParameters);

       

                          // and now... How can I get resultReceived from actionNode???
