Passing data into tasks.

[kingbee888]

Hi Guys,

I'm running into an issue when passing data from a serialized object into a task variable. 

For example:  In my start event, I collected some data and stored that data into a bean.  Then in subsequent steps, I retrieve that data. 
using

<activiti:formProperty id="requestorFirstName" name="First Name" expression="${estimateRequest.requestor.firstName}" writable="false"></activiti:formProperty>
‍‍

The data does get displayed but when I try to retrieve requestorFirstName using delegateTask.getVariable("requestorFirstName") when the step is completed, I get a null value.

What am I doing wrong?  Any guidance is appreciated.


Thanks,
Bee

How do you mean? Since this is a readable property, why do you need more than display?

In the delegateTask, you can always loop over all variables to see if a mapping mistake was made somewhere.
