If you want to have external pre-data filled in into a form, you'll have to make activiti aware of your services that access that data. You can follow 2 approaches:

Create services that epos the data you need. Wire in your services (spring e.g..) to make them available in Activiti-expressions. see http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#exposingConfigurationBeans and http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N10701. You could use the "default" attribute on formProperties to include an expression like "${myService.getSomeValue()}.

If you want to have a list of options to select from, you'll have to create a custom variable type, which does some lookup for you in the service and displays it. Additionally, when usig explorer, you should create a custom "rendered" from this. Look into org.activiti.explorer.ui.form.UserFormPropertyRenderer for inspiration on this.
