Apparently the cause is in the script task:
    <scriptTask id="scripttask1" name="Validate order" scriptFormat="groovy" activiti:autoStoreVariables="true">
      <script>
        outrintln "validating order for isbn " + isbn;
      </script>
    </scriptTask>

If I read the error message correctly, the java code below is not putting the ISBN value where it can be picked up:

    variableMap.put("isbn", "123456");
    identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId("kermit");
    ProcessInstance processInstance = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("bookorder", variableMap);

Can anyone shed light on this?

How are you providing the variableMap in Explorer?
Do you have a form? Without user input, of course the isbn variable will be null in Explorer.
