Updating payload with the remote java library

Question

Hello,
Please Help.
Does someone know how to update the payload using the remote java library?
I tried this way...
code:
IWorklistContext ctx = client.authenticateUser(user, password);
Task t = client.acquireTask(ctx,taskId);
t.setPayload(payload);
client.updateTask(ctx,t);
client.customTaskOperation(ctx, taskId, action);
Thanx

Hi Veronica,
we've encountered the same problem. It is possible to update the payload, but the data doesn't come back (when using the remote lib). We've created a TAR for this, but so far there's no solution yet. But, we did manage to create a workaround for it. It's not the cleanest solution, but for now it works.
What we do is, we create an XSD for the payload, and send it along with the usertask as usual. Only, our JSP saves the document in the Comments field. In the BPEL we can then extract the document using ora:parseEscapedXML to transform it from comments to our own userpayload.
Hth,
