3.8. Middleware Beans Methods Invocation

The Service task node is used to invoke a service method. Activiti engine is integrated with the Spring framework, so you can access middleware beans by their names. To invoke a managed bean method put the following expression to the Expression field:

${beanName.methodName(processVarName, 'someStringParam')}

You can use process variables as method arguments, including the variables automatically created on process start (entityId, bpmProcInstanceId, etc. as described in ProcessRuntimeService).
