Description Ivo Bek 2014-02-25 12:21:37 UTC

Description of problem:

I have a process definition which requires two String parameters. I will get ClassCastException when I start the process like this:

http://localhost:8080/business-central/rest/runtime/org.jboss:integration:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT/process/org.jboss.qa.bpms.ScriptTaskTwoVariables/start?map_var1=10&map_var2=20

java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String because the numbers are recognized as numbers

I was trying changing the numbers:

http://localhost:8080/business-central/rest/runtime/org.jboss:integration:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT/process/org.jboss.qa.bpms.ScriptTaskTwoVariables/start?map_var1="10"&map_var2="20"

It works but not with the required output:

the variables really contains "10", "20" including the quotes.

A workaround is to start the process via StartProcessCommand and execute REST operation instead.

Comment 1 Maciej Swiderski 2014-04-10 16:41:50 UTC

fixed to honor "" as indicator that it should be string even though value might be converted to a number. So using "10" will be kept as string value of 10.
