jBPM的type问题，big bug!

       对应用户自己定义的非string类型的变量，jBPM是先将变量转换成二进制object 流，然后再转换成string类型存储在数据库中，取变量的过程与之相反。由于转换成string涉及到编码格式问题，如GBK、ISO等，而编码格式涉及到操作系统、数据库、jvm等多方面的影响，jbpm目前还没有解决这个问题，因此在使用非string类型变量的时候，jbpm会出错。这个问题tom（jbpm创始人）正在解决。
       这个问题，似乎将变量按二进制存储更好些，这样就不会涉及编码格式问题。
       另外一种方法是使用统一的编码格式，改写后的org.jbpm.delegation.serializerSerializableSerializer如下：
public class SerializableSerializer implements Serializer {

    public String serialize(Object object) {
        String serialized = null;

        if (object != null) {
            if (!(object instanceof Serializable)) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("object '" + object + "' (" +
                        object.getClass().getName() +
                        ") cannot be serialized with " +
                        this.getClass().getName());
            }

            try {
                ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(baos);
                oos.writeObject(object);
                oos.flush();
                baos.flush();

                serialized = baos.toString(“ISO-8859-1“);//修改

            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                throw new RuntimeException(
                        "couldn't serialize state definition");
            }
        }

        return serialized;
    }

    public Object deserialize(String text) {
        Object object = null;

        if (text != null) {
            try {
                ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(text.
                        getBytes(“ISO-8859-1“));  //修改
                ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bais);
                object = ois.readObject();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                throw new RuntimeException(
                        "couldn't deserialize object from inputstream");
            }
        }

        return object;
    }

}
