Process variables.

[vigneshwer]

I am relatively new to Java and the company I'm interning at requires me to build a workflow for their client, so pardon my ignorance. Thanks!

Suppose my workflow begins with a user task, the resulting form data can be retrieved from a following service task using

DelegateExecution.getVariable("formid")‍

Is my understanding of this correct?

Additionally, the Result Variable of a Service Task can be the return value of a

static‍

method such as

getResult()‍

of any type, is that right? Can result variables of a Service Task can be retrieved the same way that process variables are?

Thanks for your help. I tried going over the User Guide multiple times in search for the answers, but with no luck.

You can get all task form values individually using DelegateExecution.getVariable("variableName").
So suppose you have a form property with an id "name" you will get a variable with the name "name".
The result variable can only be used with the expression attribute. Then the invoked method can return a object that will be set as a variable in the process context. When using the class attribute you just have to use DelegateExecution.setVariable("variableName")

Best regards,
