Question

Answer 1

In order to create a new object instance, simply declare it as part of your process business variables and initialize it:

• Select process pool
• Go to "Data" tab
• Select "Pool variables" sub-tab
• In "Business variables" section click on "Add..." button

You can initialize it either:

• Using the business variable default value:
  • In "Business variables" section click on "Add..." or "Edit..." button
  • In the "Default value" field click on the pencil icon to bring the Groovy script editor.
  • Use the Groovy script editor to create a script that create a new instance of your business variable Java object.
• or using an operation on a task:
  • Select the task.
  • Go to "Execution" tab, "Operations" sub-tab.
  • Click on "Add" button.
  • On the drop-down list on the left select your business variable.
  • Make sure the operation is set to "Instantiate with". If operation is different (e.g. "Takes value of"), click on the operation link and use the drop-down list to select "Instantiate with".
  • Click on the pencil icon on the right to bring the Groovy script editor.
  • Use the Groovy script editor to create a script that create a new instance of your business variable Java object.
