Hi 

I have a custom work item handler and I would like to load the value of a 
process instance variable while executing the work item handler.  Basically I 
have a service method which does the following:

public String getValue(Long processId, String variableName) {

  session.getProcessInstance(..);
   instance.getVariable(variableName);

  //do something with the value...but not modify

}


When i call this service method within the execute method of the work item 
handler I get a nullpointerexception and the stacktrace indicates that the 
processinstancebytearray value of ProcessInstanceInfo is null. I guess this is 
because the process has not reached a safe point to persist.  Is there another 
way to get the value of a variable defined in the process within the execution 
of the work item handler?

This is the final part of a POC I am currently working on demonstrating the use 
of JBPM 5 so any help on this would be extremely grateful.

Cheers
