Activiti complex objects

I noticed that when I create a complex variable using the APIs, the object is saved as a byte array which makes it impossible to search tasks based on values in this object, Is there any way to save the object as a json object or any other simpler form ?

The obvious answer to your question would be to create a custom serializer/deserializer for your complex type as documented here:

However, I recommend you consider making use of the Activiti Event system to export process events to a nosql store such as Elasticsearch. This way, you can easily search and filter on process variables for reporting purposes.
