Binding Text Input to a Process Variable

A text input can be bound to a process variable using the cam-variable-type andcam-variable-name directives:

In the example above, the text input field is bound to the variable named CUSTOMER_ID of typeString.

Supported Variable Types for Text Inputs

A text input field supports multiple variable types.

Binding to existing variables: Note that if you bind the input field to an existing variable,the type of the variable is provided by the process engine and the cam-variable-type directiveis not required.

Example:

  2.        cam-variable-name="CUSTOMER_ID"
  3.        cam-variable-type="String" />

Trimming: Note that the value of the String variable is trimmed before it is submitted to theprocess engine: leading and trailing whitespace is removed.

To bind the input field to a Java Integer variable, the directivecam-variable-type="Integer" must be used.

Example:

Example:

  2.        cam-variable-type="Long" />

To bind the input field to a Java Short variable, the directivecam-variable-type="Short" must be used.

Example:

To bind the input field to a Java Double variable, the directivecam-variable-type="Double" must be used.

  1. <input type="text"
  2. cam-variable-name="CUSTOMER_REVENUE"
