Automatic variable check on REST API process start

tj1 — Wed, 20 May 2015 17:59:26 GMT

Hi guys,we starting our process from REST API. Is there any automatic way, to check that all needed variables for the process are set? And if there are not all required variables set, I would receive Response code 400 and process would not be started? Thanks for the answers!

You can make a REST call to <code>/service/form/form-data?processDefinitionId=value</code> and it will return the formProperties in JSON response. For each of the form properties, you can check if the required attribute is true or false.

Yea, I know that, but is there way that Activiti checks if all needed variables are passed and if not, doesn't start the process?

No, Activiti has no such mechanism, that will need to be done in a custom rest api that wraps the activiti java api.
