Using setVariable of InstanceManagementAPI failed.

["chrishxl@163.com" <ch...@163.com>]

Hello there,

        I have tried setVariable in InstanceManagementAPI of ODE 2.0,but it changed noting but to return a xmlInfo of the variable.
        So, I went to check the source code of setVariable from https://github.com/apache/ode/commit/8e8b2f09a2b1e7845fca7d4b6eec524ca7217ff9.
        And I found that the whole codes related with DAO is just as follow:
        line 491         ScopeDAO scope = session.getScope(new Long(scopeId));
        line 497         scope.getProcessInstance().getInstanceId().toString()
        line 500         XmlDataDAO var = scope.getVariable(varName);
        Obviously, this will change nothing of Scope but to get some values of it.
        Then, a view of ScopeDao.java indicates that there is no variable set like method.
        What Scope.getVaribale(varName) got is in private  HashMap<String, XmlDataDAO> _variables.
        Above all, what I want to do is to modify the value of variable in running process.
        Using managementAPI is the best but the setVariable seems ineffective.What should I do with my need? 
        Directly query derby database and change the variable? Or using Java reflect mechanism to modify the variable in memory?
        I really want to get help of you, my friend !

Hi Chris,

ODE 2.0 was an experimental branch. There is no active development on it.

Future maintenance releases will be from 1.3.x branch.

To get your tomcat running with ODE-1.3.6 use the packaging application
listed below

http://ode.apache.org/resource-services.html -> Useful Tools ->

   - Apache ODE Tomcat Bundle
   <https://github.com/vanto/apache-ode-tomcat-bundle>: Build script that
   creates a fully configured bundle with Tomcat 7, Apache ODE, Hibernate and
   Bitronix.

Once your tomcat bundle is configured, you can build 1.3.x branch which
will generate 1.3.7-snapshot build.

Replace ode-1.3.6 jars with ode-1.3.7-snapshot jars in your tomcat.
regards,
sathwik
