Thanks for the reply!!! I need to set approvalStatus conditional expression variable.

By populating process variable , do you mean to say populating conditional expression variables which I have given in the bpmn file , which in my case is approvalStatus ?

<sequenceFlow id="flow3" sourceRef="verifyCommentsTask" targetRef="approvalDecision" />
<exclusiveGateway id="approvalDecision" />
<sequenceFlow id="flow4" sourceRef="approvalDecision" targetRef="enterCommentsTask">

<sequenceFlow id="flow5" sourceRef="approvalDecision" targetRef="theEnd">
<conditionExpression>${approvalStatus}</conditionExpression>
</sequenceFlow>

As far as I understand , taskService.complete method accepts a Map.Could you please elaborate its usage - how to set and retrieve conditional expression in that?

Add the 'approvalStatus' + it's value to the map you pass in the taskService.complete(taskId, map) method. That way, the expression can be resolved.
