Hi,

it's not the point of thrown Exceptions.

The point is, when starting a workflow without any start form parameters i use a Map<String,Object> for the variables. (eg. to suppy directly a java.util.date)
When starting a workflow with Form Paramers i can only submit formValues as <String,String>. So I can't supply e.g. a Date directly for later usage in the workflow.

Ideally the submitStartFormData method needs an additional Map<String,Object> for the "regular" workflow variables…

Thank you.

Greets, Peter
