Hi,

That looks like a correct way of completing the task. Do you see false in the complete Task listener?
Could you verify if the value is also false by just calling the REST API again to get the process instance details?

Best regards,

I see null in the complete the Task Listner.

In task listner i print the "dicision" value….It always print "null"

Try a string:

{"decision":"true"}

Try a string:

{"decision":"true"}

If I try like above it will give an classcastexception…..

What REST-API-call are you using? I see you're using form-properties, but the rest-api currently only supports adding actual variables.

The class cast exception is probably coming from wherever you are using the variable in your workflow. Change that to expect a string- either using the value directly "true" or by turning it into a boolean/etc.

I'm using Complete Task through REST
by calling this

http://*******:6080/activiti-rest/service/task/{taskid}/complete
and pass this in body {"decision":true}

What is the full stack trace of the class-cast exception you're getting? Also, is the variable you're trying to set already known in the process, before you try to set it using REST?
