First, read the process-variable using the runtime-service. Next, you can use the getStructureInstance() on the InstanceItem to read the fields that are present in the data, this is either a "FieldBaseStructureInstance" (containing hash maps with field/values) or PrimitiveStructureInstance (which contains only ONE field, a single primitive type).

I type this :

…
ProcessInstance pi = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("call_wsdl",variables);

Object varSetByListener = runtimeService.getVariable(pi.getId(), "dataOutputOfProcess");
}

but result :

Do your have any idea ? :geek:

The exception states that the execution does not exist. Probabily, you're process immediately ends after the webservice-call. One the process is ended, the process is deleted from the database, along with any variables associated to it. Possible solutions are:

Add an additional receiveTask or userTask after the webservice-call. This step represent an action needs to be performed outside of the engine (either a system-action or a manual action by a user). Since the process is not ended, but rather waiting for a signal or a task to complete, the variables will still be accessible using runtimeService.

Make sure history is configured high enough to get HistoricVariableUpdates recorded. When the process is finished, you can still query those, using the HistoryService.

A process with a web-service call that immediately ends, doesn't really make sense. Most of the time, you'll want to use the outcome in THE NEXT STEPS of your process. For example, you can add a service-task (JavaDelegate) after the webservice-call, which used the passed-in DelegateExecution to extract the "dataOutputOfProcess" variable. It can inspect the variable and perform actions or set other variables accordingly…

You are right.

I have 2 way :

1- In process catch it like this :


<scriptTask id="theScriptTask2" scriptFormat="groovy" name="Execute script 2">
   <script>
    String responceItemName = dataOutputOfProcess.structureInstance.getFieldNameAt(0);
    System.out.println("responce Item Name : " + responceItemName);
    System.out.println("dataOutputOfProcess : "+dataOutputOfProcess.structureInstance.getFieldValue(responceItemName));    
   </script>
</scriptTask>

and result :

2- Use History LOG .

Chapter 11. History

Thanks a lot men .
