The variables are serialized. Serialized objects are created differently than regular ones, not really an activiti-issue, more of an Java-general thing.

It's true, Frederik!

Implementing Serializable on the superclass "Animal" fixed the issue (the subclass "Cat" was already implementing it)

Thanks!
