HTTP Connector - how to set multiple process variables?

[webcyberrob]

Hi all,

I am trying to use the HTTP Rest connector to integrate to a simple web service. The integration works fine however I need to parse the response and break it into some component parts. Using some javascript, I found that there was no 'execution' variable defined and thus I was not able to do something like;

execution.setVariable('part1', a)

execution.setVariable('part2',b)

Hence when using connectors, whats the best way to parse a response into component parts - do I just return the entire response via the connector and parse it via a task delegate or handler?

Also just confirming hat here is no execution variable pre-define in connector script code?

regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

in a connector mapping the variable scope name is "connector" [1]. See for example [2].

Cheers,
