Intuitively, I would have imagined that a more 'local' scope has precedence.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>This is the code I mean:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>for (VariableInstanceEntity variableInstance: variableInstances.values()) {</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; variables.put(variableInstance.getName(), variableInstance.getValue());</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>}</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>VariableScopeImpl parentScope = getParentVariableScope();</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>if (parentScope!=null) {</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return parentScope.collectVariables(variables);</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>}</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks for sharing the thoughts behind this implementation 'strategy'.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Regards, Etienne</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 10 Jul 2011 05:27:51 GMT etienne 2011-07-10T05:27:51Z VariableScope#getVariables https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/variablescope-getvariables/m-p/42057#M22553 HiI've gone through the implementation of org.activiti.engine.delegate.VariableScope#getVariables and the following question came up: if the same name is used for a variable on different scopes in the scope hierarchy, why does the variable furthest up the tree have precedence?
