I have set up a Java application, which receives Data from a process Bonita BPM (Instances, Users, Tasks etc.).  
I would like to receive which variables are created in the process (business/ process/ taskvar.). This means I want to know which variables there are and where they are used (eg. in which form/ in which gateway).

Has anyone an idea how I could accomplish this? Either in Rest or in Java.  
Thanks in advance.
