I am using follwoing url & data through rest but getting 415 Unsupported Media Type error. rest calls to get instance details & task details are working fine. I think my problem is with POST,PUT requests but not GET requsts.Request: http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/runtime/process

Try to write username and password in the request properties.

{
"processDefinitionKey":"restprocess",
"businessKey":"m1020",
"user":"kermit"
"password":kermit"

}

{

"businessKey":"m1020",
"user":"kermit",
"password":"kermit"
}

with comma after username

Don't pass in user and password in the request-body. The userguide clearly states the request-body for that POST and it does not contain any user/pass, hence the 415 response.

Use username and password in a BASIC auth header instead…
