Hello all,
I have a problem with passing complex objects to instantiate a process. The HTTP call and instantiation works fine if a pass the following message:
but when I send this JSON:
the following error is thrown:
I have tried different alternatives to create the JSON-File (manually, XML.toJSONObject, JSONObject) and structures of the message but all of them fail with the same error message.
Since I have defined some custom logging in the process, I would at least recognize if the instance would have been started and the assignment of a variable would fail.
Help is very appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

{"customerid":"cid_1234","ordervalue":4000,","processDefinitionId":"ReferenceProcessSimple:1:120"}
(although the process instance fails because of missing arguments 😉 )but when I send this JSON:

This is currently not possible. In the new REST-api, this will be possible because there is a pluggable mechanism for variable-types. It will allow you to plug is some code to create a POJO based on a JSON-representation (exposed as a Map<Stirng, ..>). This will be available in 5.13 of 5.14.
