Hi,


<variable name="director" access="write"></variable>
‍‍‍

This does not mean that the result of the call of people.getPerson() will be put into the variable director.

            executionContext.setVariable("contralor", contralor);
        </script>
      </action>

No problem
I'm glad I could help you.

After having struggled on many areas of Workflow design, I now have a motto :
- prefer Java Actions to script actions
- use type and aspect properties rather than "variables" and "controllers"
- executionContext's methods setVariable and getVariable are your best friends
