There are 2 possible connections - super execution (execution.getSuperExecution()) and parent execution (execution.getParent()).

I think you need parent execution for call activity case.

You can read and set variables of parent process in java deleagates like this:

Object variable = execution.getParent().getVariable("variableName");
