[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - FieldInstantiator doesnt consider inherited fields.

[d_jiten <nu...@jb...>]

I have an actionHandler which is inherited from baseHandler. I use config-type=field in the xml definition. 
  | <event type="node-leave">
  |   <action name="updateWorkflowId" class="com.xx.UpdateHandler" config-type="field" >
  | 	<myBaseClassField>123</myBaseClassField>
  | </action>
  | </event>

Now i tried to set some fields of the base class and it wouldnt set it. When i looked at the source org.jbpm.instantiation.FieldInstantiator it uses the following method to get the fields. :
 Field f = clazz.getDeclaredField(propertyName);

If instead of this clazz.getField(propertyName) was used it could have got the inherited fields.  Is there any reason why this is not done ? Are there any side effects if i change the source to do it this way for my deployment.

Thanks,
Jiten
