Why can't I have more writeable variables?

I am using v2.1.The following syntax throws an exception. It expects an other tag inside <script>.<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript"> <script> // some alfresco javascript </script></action>‍‍‍‍‍But the following syntax works.<acti

The first form is definitely valid - as you it's used in the out-of-the-box workflows. What script do you have in your <script> tags? You may need to wrap it in a CDATA block.

You can only have one writable variable because that's the way it is right now. We can support more, but it requires a slight change to how we've integrated the javascript engine.

I used the following process definition. The first JS works. But the second one throws an exception. If the second one is also has <expression> tags it won't throw an exception.

The namespace of your jBPM process definition is incorrect. It should be

<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.2">‍
