3.3    上下文示例：流程变量

流程变量（process variable）包含流程执行时的上下文（context）信息。它类似于一个java.util.Map，映射变量名称到java对象值。流程变量被作为流程的一部分持久。为了简化，下面这个例子中，我们只展示了操作变量的API，没有展示如何持久。

 

更多关于变量的信息，参考11.上下文。

 

// This example also starts from the hello world process. // This time even without modification. ProcessDefinition processDefinition = ProcessDefinition.parseXmlString(   "<process-definition>" +   "  <start-state>" +   "    <transition to='s' />" +   "  </start-state>" +   "  <state name='s'>" +   "    <transition to='end' />" +   "  </state>" +   "  <end-state name='end' />" +   "</process-definition>" );   ProcessInstance processInstance =   new ProcessInstance(processDefinition);   // Fetch the context instance from the process instance // for working with the process variables. ContextInstance contextInstance =   processInstance.getContextInstance();   // Before the process has left the start-state, // we are going to set some process variables in the // context of the process instance. contextInstance.setVariable("amount", new Integer(500)); contextInstance.setVariable("reason", "i met my deadline");   // From now on, these variables are associated with the // process instance.  The process variables are now accessible // by user code via the API shown here, but also in the actions // and node implementations.  The process variables are also  // stored into the database as a part of the process instance.   processInstance.signal();   // The variables are accessible via the contextInstance.   assertEquals(new Integer(500),              contextInstance.getVariable("amount")); assertEquals("i met my deadline",              contextInstance.getVariable("reason"));
