Our test cases all use groovy, so didn't test javascript yet.

Could you create a test project (including maven pom.xml for the javascript engine depenendencies), and create a jira issue such that we can test it?

Solved by this:

<script><![CDATA[var procInstVariable = execution.getVariable('procInstVariable') + '';
]]></script>

Hi.
I have something like this.
I have bean 'myUtil' and use it in scripTask:
n = myUtil.encode(execution, "abc");It should return a string.
When I use 'groovy' all ok, but if I use 'javascript' I have error.
Error solved if I concatenate this with blank string:
n = myUtil.encode(execution, "abc") + "";
In ScriptBindings.java in method 'put' i have value as String when use groovy.
And when use javascript the value is sun.org.mozilla.javascript.NativeJavaObject

ok, interesting.

But like I said, my knowledge of using javascript as scripting language in Activiti is limited … so I'm afraid I can't give you a decent answer there.
