    • Method Detail

      • getProcessInstance

        ProcessInstance getProcessInstance()
        Returns the process instance that is currently being executed in this context.
        Returns:
        the process instance that is currently being executed in this context

      • getNodeInstance

        NodeInstance getNodeInstance()
        Returns the node instance that is currently being executed in this context, or null if no node instance is currently being executed.
        Returns:
        the node instance that is currently being executed in this context

      • getVariable

        Object getVariable​(String variableName)
        Returns the value of the variable with the given name. Based on the current node instance, it will try to resolve the given variable, taking nested variable scopes into account. Returns null if the variable could not be found.
        Parameters:
        variableName - the name of the variable
        Returns:
        the value of the variable

      • setVariable

        void setVariable​(String variableName,
                 Object value)
        Sets the value of the variable with the given name. Based on the current node instance, it will try to resolve the given variable, taking nested variable scopes into account. If the variable cannot be resolved, it will set the value as a process-level variable. It is however recommended to only use this with caution, as it is always recommended to define the variables that are used inside a process.
        Parameters:
        variableName - the name of the variable
        value - the value of the variable
