Hi folks,I deployed activit-rest application and tested it with some rest browser test tools, successfully..Now, I d like to for example start a process from a java client application. I'd like to construct json parameter object from java objects instaed of one by one adding with some json libraries

The Java api does not use json to communicate, that's only the REST api.

In Java, youare basically using beans and services, yes.

I think i couldn't express myself well…

I mean, in rest api of activiti , suppose you had something like this for rest server side:

<code>
        @GET
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        @Produces
@Path("/dotasksomething)
public Task dotasksomething(Task task) {
             …
         }
</code>

Now , for client if i would like to call that method using rest and json, i need to set up a Json Object and create beans matching server side Object(Task for this example) getters and setter… so that means creating many Beans acc to api guide rest part…I create json representations using those beans…

Do we have any jar something like activiti-rest-client which consists of those beans like Task, User, Service, Process etc…?

Thanks a lot…

These objects are part of the activiti-rest JAR. We don't have a separate activiti-rest-client JAR for these objects.
