Hi,

I defined a work item definition that has a boolean parameter. Entering a value for that boolean parameter in the BPMN2 process editor plugin in Eclipse, causes a ClassCastException when selecting the work item for display in the Properties tab.

This happens when I close the editor and reopen it. afterwards the selection of work items doesn't work properly.

Stacktrace:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Boolean

The exception can be reproduced with the following simple example work item definition.

import org.drools.process.core.datatype.impl.type.BooleanDataType;
import org.drools.process.core.datatype.impl.type.StringDataType;
import org.drools.process.core.datatype.impl.type.ObjectDataType;

[
  [
    "name" : "MyTask", 
    "displayName" : "My Task",
    "parameters" : [ 
      "MyStringParam" : new StringDataType(), 
      "MyBoolParam" : new BooleanDataType() 
    ], 
    "results" : [ 
      "Result" : new ObjectDataType("java.util.Map") 
    ], 
    "displayName" : "My Task", 
  ]
]

The editor field for the "MyBoolParam" is a text field. What do I have to do ta make this a boolean editor field (e.g. a drop down box like the Terminate parameter  in the End Event)?

BTW, This occurs with IntegerDataTypes, too.

Thank you for your help
