Reading blob from act_ge_byetarray

Hi,

We are trying to read the variables from the act_ru_variable table and display them in the external console. We don't have any issues with the variables having primitive datatypes but not able to display the complex variables which are stored as blob in act_ge_bytearray table. Can you help us to how to deal with the complex variables ie., the blob object. We use Oracle database and tried converting it to XMLTYPE(to convert as an xml) but it failed.
Can you let us know what class in Activiti engine handles the blob conversion? Thanks!!

Hi,

complex variables are stored through org.activiti.engine.impl.variable.SerializableType. Blob conversion is implemented there.
