"WorkItemHandler not honoring data type" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/736307#736307 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am in the process of upgrading from Drools 5.0 rule flows to jBPM 5.3 BPMN processes. All is going well for the most part, but I ran into an odd snag. I have 25+ WorkItemHandler's defined. Several of them use IntegerDataType's for input parameters. Now, in jBPM 5.3, all parameters seem to be passed to the hander as String, regardless if it's defined as a type other than StringDataType(). For example, let me share one definition that is causing me fits: [ "name" : "SFTPget", "parameters" : [ "Host Name" : new StringDataType(), "User Name" : new StringDataType(), "Password" : new StringDataType(), "File Location" : new StringDataType(), "File Name" : new StringDataType(), "Target Directory" : new StringDataType(), "Delete Original" : new StringDataType(), "Log Level" : new StringDataType(), "Date Format" : new StringDataType(), "Date Format to lowercase" : new StringDataType(), "Date Format Offset" : new IntegerDataType(), "Reply Timeout": new IntegerDataType() ], "displayName" : "sFTP Get", "icon" : "icons/computer_world.gif" ] In the WorkItemHandler, I have the following code that worked prior to upgrading, but now throws ClassCastException: Integer dateOffset = (Integer) ((workItem.getParameter("Date Format Offset") == null)? 0: workItem.getParameter("Date Format Offset")); The object returned by workItem.getParameter("Date Format Offset") is a String. My questions would be as follows: 1. Is this just the way jBPM 5.3 works, and am I to manually cast all parameters from String to the desired type? 2. If #1 is no, then is this a bug or something I need to change in my code? Thanks for the help/tips! -Paul -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/736307#736307] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&containerType=14&container=2034]
