Using java.util.List objects as process variables

[ovunccetin]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to save a java.util.List value (a list of serializable objects) into the process variables. The Activiti engine writes the list into the bytearray table. But when the list contains more than one items, the engine adds a new row to the byte array table instead of updating the previously added blob value. When I access this variable then via runtimeService.getVariable("executionId","varName") call, a list with only one item (the item which is firstly added) is returned. Do you know something about this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Can you create a unit-test for this (simple process)? This way it's easier to reproduce this.

It runs properly in test. But the problem still exists when I tried in server application.

What do you mean with 'it runs in the unit test'.

Did you test setting, changing and getting the process variable? What is the difference with the server deployment?
