Creating a process programatically, variables not being set.

I'm using Activiti in a Grails application. So far, it is working very well, however I can't seem to get programatic process starting working. In my code I do:Map<String, String> paramMap = new HashMap<String, String>();… put parameters into the map ….activitiService.runtimeService.start

How do you fill the map of variables? The startProcessInstance actually accept a Map<String,Object>. Perhaps the groovy is trying to coerce the values into a string?

It ended up being a problem with the grails activiti plugin. I finally found a solution here:
