I tried set beans

Map<Object, Object> beans = new HashMap<Object, Object>();
beans.put("dateService", dateService);
((ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl) configuration).setBeans(beans);

I suppose you have to set up your bean in your application context, in your spring configuration context you need something like this:

<bean id="dateServicer" class="org.activiti.yourpackage.dateService" />
Read the chapter about Use Activiti with Spring on "Activiti in Action" Book.
Let me know

Yes, you right it will work, but I want find way to set beans without Spring.
I want to use them out of processes.

Maybe you can use a DelegateExpression, it's work but if you'll use this your bean must implement JavaDelegate

Ok, I found solution

Should add the Expression manager into configuration

ProcessEngineConfiguration configuration = CdiStandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration.createStandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration();
configuration.setExpressionManager(new CdiExpressionManager());

and to use standart cdi annotations

@Named
public class DateService {
    public Date getDueDate() {
        …
    }
}
