Message Event Received with REST and Pojo

[jorge_serrao]

Hi everyone,

I need to send a MessageCatchingEvent via Activiti REST API with a Java Pojo but I'm facing a problem with that.

The request I was trying to send (via PUT) is the following:

     {
         "action":"messageEventReceived", 
         "messageName": "myMessage", 
          "variables" : [ 
                "name":"serviceGroup", 
                "type":"serializable", 
           ] 
      }

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This request made me wonder how should I include the Pojo in this JSON so I decided to investigate the code in Activiti.
I realized that Activiti is looking for a

RestVariableConverter‍

based on the variable type but since there isn't a RestVariableConverter for a varibale type of serializable an error would be thrown.

Should I create my RestVariableConverter?
Does anyone have a better idea or has had this problem before?

Thanks,
Jorge

Yes, if you add a custom POJO you will need that indeed.

Yes, just did that and it's working fine.

Thanks
