This is more a general REST-question, rather than an Activiti one - but here's my 2 cents:

If you want to follow RESTfull principles, you need to execute a PUT on a resource, with a body containing the updates state of the resource. Since you're doing an 'action' on a resource (not creating one and not really explicit ally updating one) the 100% RESTfull approach won't cut it here.

What we do in Activiti REST is using a POST on the task-resource (see user guide):


POST runtime/tasks/{taskId}
{ 
  "action" : "delegate",
  "assignee" : "userToDelegateTo"
}

The request-body contains the action to execute and any other parameters you need. The URL remains clean (doesn't include the action) and has a clear indication of what entity instance to perform the action on…
