defining global constants for a process

Hi,

I have about 20 constants values i want to define in my workflow definition which should be available to every process that will be created when we start the workflow.

If i define them as variables, it will create 20 rows in ACT_RU_VARIABLE and those variables are not cleared out until the process ends.  And our workflow runs for a long time.

I am looking for a solution something like, in the workflow bpmn.xml if we use activiti:field will it work as constant (Not storing in the database)?

Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,

if you use the field property it just gets injected in the service task class or listener class, not stored in the database.

Best regards,
