hello,

i would like to get the runtime process instance variables,

i miss the GetProcessInstanceVariablesCommand as a counterpart to the SetProcessInstanceVariablesCommand,

our setup: persistent jbpm, remote (either jms or rest), version 6.1.0.Final,

there is a nice collection of various "get variable" usages here:

because we use the remote api, the following dont work

1. call execute() with a GenericCommand on a KieSession

2. getting ProcessInstance and then casting to WorkflowProcessInstance (on which i could call the getVariable() method)

3. GetVariableCommand doesnt work for me (returns null), i dont know how to handle the context attribute there (no docs/examples available)

the only thing that seems to work is to use AuditService, or create a FindVariableInstancesCommand, but it uses the AuditService, not returning the variables from the process runtime,

i would like to get the variables from the process runtime, because im using a List process instance variable, and audit service can only return strings

questions:

why there is no GetProcessInstanceVariablesCommand (which would return Object)?

how can i do it (using remote api)?

thanks
