Thank you! That's really what I need. So I have to wait for the next version of Activiti, right? Meanwhile, I'm trying to do the commit via receive task + timeout, because it's better than my previous blank user task approach. However, this exception is thrown:

BOM: INSERT INTO MYTABLE (FIELDS) VALUES (?)
 bind => [8 parameters bound]

The same happens when I try to delete cascade my deployment on Activiti Probe: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: unknown variable type name jpa-entity

I'm sorry about my long post. I did my best to make myself clear.

Could you help me again? I'm using Activiti 5.6 and I'm going to try 5.7 latter.

hahha… your initial post was very clear, but if you had searched a little, you probably would not have had to write it 🙂

Regarding your second question, it is always better not to use the same topic since that can be confusing. And there have been posts with kind of the same issue, so please search a little first and use a new topic afterwards
