Hello community,I found that it's impossible (in 5.12.1) to store a date variable usin the REST interface. It seems that SecuredResource.retrieveVariables only scans for long, double, string values. Can you confirm that it's not a misunderstanding from me before I write a jira ticket ?For the moment I use a workaround in overriding this method with this piece of code :
Map<String, Object> variables = new HashMap<String, Object>();
if (jsonNode != null) {
Iterator<String> itName = jsonNode.getFieldNames();
while (itName.hasNext()) {
String name = itName.next();
JsonNode valueNode = jsonNode.path(name);
if (valueNode.isBoolean()) {
variables.put(name, valueNode.getBooleanValue());
} else if (valueNode.isInt()) {
variables.put(name, valueNode.getIntValue());
} else if (valueNode.isLong()) {
variables.put(name, valueNode.getLongValue());
} else if (valueNode.isDouble()) {
variables.put(name, valueNode.getDoubleValue());
} else if (valueNode.isTextual()) {
//START WORKAROUND
ObjectMapper map = new ObjectMapper();
DateFormat df = map.getDeserializationConfig().getDateFormat();
String textValue = valueNode.getTextValue();
try {
Date dateValue=df.parse(textValue);
variables.put(name, dateValue);
} catch (ParseException pe) {
variables.put(name, valueNode.getTextValue());
}
//END WORKAROUND
} else {
variables.put(name, valueNode.getValueAsText());
}
}
}
return variables;
