Is there a way,start BPMNprocess using data in grid format?

[cv556]

I have a requirement to pass the grid data to the bpmn process.
example:

SSN       Name      Income
1234      fox        3000
2345      king       5000
2367      raj         6000

As far as i know we can only pass the variable map(key,value) to the bpmn process. Is there any way to pass the above data.If yes then how to access the values of the above data in the process??

It looks to me like a regular String, no? Can't you just store it as a string and parse it whenever you need it?

Hi jbarrez,
Its not a string.i have a table with columns "SSN, NAME, INCOME".

I have an external jsp with form parameters same as columns "SSN, NAME, INCOME" which is attached to user task.

Question 1: i want to populate the table's data i.e., ssn, name, income onto form using ACtiviti bpmn.
Question 2: is it possible to start the process with the table data instead of variable map.

Why not put all table-data in a variable-map? What is the issue with that? or store each record of a single row in a POJO that implements Serializable. Serializables can be stored in the process as a variable…
