Create a map of variables and execute a user task remotly

Q&A
1

I need to execute the user task from a remote java app and as I know the proper way is to use processAPI :
processAPI.executeUserTask(long userTaskInstanceId, Map<String, Serializable> inputs)

the problem is that i dont’t know how to create Map<String, Serializable> inputs, I have tried puting variable names and values (k,v) in map but engine throws an exeption that says missing input…
I tried to understand how the engine does it when we use the protal but i couldn’t get my answer.
any help is appreciated

Hi,

Here is some code to create and start a process…you can use this to model your executeUserTask.

Map processData = new HashMap(); processData.put("whoIsDoingThisTask", username); //user data processData.put("whoIsTheSender", whoIsTheSender); //user data processData.put("additionalText", additionalText); //user data

ProcessInstance processInstance = processAPI.startProcess(processId, processData);

Note that it should not be variable name but contact input name as defined in the “Execution” → “Contract” tab in the Studio.
