See http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnStartEvents, you can use the initiator variable later on in the process, using e.g. an expression of runtimeService.getVariable(…):

thx for answer.
I tried to use the method you adviced me, and it works perfectly - but only if I prepare process in Activiti Designer. It fails when prepared in Modeler. In that case I got an error:
SEVERE: Terminal error:
com.vaadin.event.ListenerMethod$MethodException
Cause: com.vaadin.event.ListenerMethod$MethodException
Cause: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: Script4, method: run signature: ()Ljava/lang/Object Stack size too large
at com.vaadin.event.ListenerMethod.receiveEvent(ListenerMethod.java:510)
….

in bpmn:
<startEvent id="start1" name="Start 1" activiti:initiator="initman"/>

in groovy script:
outrintln initman;

but the same script/process deployed from designer works ok. I used Activiti 5.11.

regards

Can you compare the BPMN2.0 xml-files (the one coming out of the designer and the other from modeler) with each other? So we know what the actual difference…
