Inside the sub-process the start event transitions to a service task which has a boundary error event on it. The service task tries to get the loop counter from the local scope using execution.getVariableLocal("num") but it cannot.

And does this mean that service tasks that use getVariableLocal(String) must be modified if the process diagram is changed to put the service task in a new scope? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there much documentation on scopes in Activiti?

Multi-instance activities, user tasks and process level scopes are currently used in Activiti.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 09 Jul 2015 07:25:20 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/new-variable-scope-is-created-for-service-task-with-boundary/m-p/182202#M135332 trademak 2015-07-09T07:25:20Z
