Getting the values of serialized variables to show in the admin page

Flowable Engine

I have a juel scriptTask that I need to change serialized variables into a string so I can display their values in my flowable admin page. I am unsure how to do this.

Hi pfranks,
what is inside your serialized variable? Is it a java object? How would you do it in Java? The groovy code which you can use in a script task is most of the time similar.

Here you can find different ways to use a script task: https://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html#bpmnScriptTask

Hi valentin,

It is a java object. I am not sure how this would be done in java either as I am pretty new to all of this. Any recommendations on that front?

Thanks,
Parker

Flowable-Admin does not include Groovy. You have to add the groovy-jsr223 and groovy modules to the classpath (e.g. add groovy-2.5.8.jar and groovy-jsr223-2.5.8.jar).
