workflow model custom variables

dolly1

Hi,
I am using worklow model 1.0.0.1 and TS 6.7.1 SP1 on solaris 10.

I am trying to create a workflow model and as per my understanding custom variables in the WFM API are same as global configurable variables.

Based on this in my preprocess JAVA class I am getting a value and resetting its value but it is not working.

Even i am not able to get the default set value.

workflow.updateVariable("isLocalReview", "Something should work");
strm = workflow.getVriable("isLocalReview");
The default set value is "Yes" but i get a empty string.

Is this understanding correct?

Please suggest what is going wrong here.
