Deserialisation of complex object fails in activiti

Hallo,Given the following serialisation of a mesurement object:{ "deviceID":"AA:FF.043D:90", "deviceName":"A&D_UC321PBT-C", "deviceType":"MDC_DEV_SPEC_PROFILE_SCALE", "measurementEntities" [{ "measurementType":"MDC_MASS_BODY_ACTUAL", "meas

The rest api doesn't do auto json conversion to objects. Or do you mean it's done by a service task of yourself? In that case, the json is just a string passed to the API and it should just work, no?

The service task is just for illustration that I can have a complex object as a process variable. What I want to know is, can the rest-api create this complex object based on the json as for example the service task does by means of a factory. What I found out so far is that activiti is able to handle simple objects.

As a footnote: In previous sofware projects I implemented a rest apis that were able to create such complex objects by using an unmashaller(jackson or jersey) passing it the json and the class model. Same behavior, I would expect from activiti when my class model is deployed to activiti.

I hope this helps to clarify my request.

Thanks, Marco

Yes, I do understand it now. However, the rest api currently only accepts primitive types.
