You can only use HistoricTaskInstance.getXXXVqariables() when you have done a historic task-query requested to include the variables, as the API states: /** Returns the process variables if requested in the task query */
There is an issue in the 5.13 release related to this functionality for non-historic tasks (https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1731). I'll make sure the historic variables get fixed as well as part of this work.
