Hi All

I am looking for JASON construct for passing input parameter to a process while instantiating a process…I have two input parameters:

"assignee_email" and "assignee" … how do I set these up…

Thank you
Krish

Check out http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N11AD9

To add parameters, you can do something like this:

Request: POST /process-instance



{
  "processDefinitionId":"financialReport:1",
  "assignee_email":"john@doe.com"
}

Hi frederik

Thank you; I tried the same but got the following exception:

I am using these properties in my HTML mail template and Java assignment class. I have attached the files along with this post.

Thanks again
Krish

Hmmm…

Can you please try without the underscore? So use assigneeEmail instead of assignee_email as variable-name and let me know if that works… Got a fleeing the underscore is the cause (since _type and _required is processed by the webscript that starts the process-instance via REST).

Hi frederik

It worked… as stated by you the "_" was the issue

Thanks again

Krish
