activi-rest api on osgi (servicemix)

justass — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:22:40 GMT

Hello, I have deployed activiti rest bundle with required dependencies on service mix. But I can't find, how to configure (datasource, rest url and other properties) the rest api to start and work? Does the activiti rest api work on osgi environment? Thanks

Datasource configuration is described in the user guide. (http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#databaseConfiguration)
rest url:

Did you ever get this working? I managed to get the configuration admin service to configure the datasource for activiti's OSGi module in servicemix, but I've been unsuccessful at getting the rest api to present in a manner that allows me to deploy workflows to the container and have them show up.

Hi,

I do not use osgi module. I use only activiti rest app and I can configure datasource without any problem.

hi mykelalvis,
no, I didn't manage to deploy activiti rest-api to osgi (servicemix) environment. I have spent couple days collecting all required jars for rest-api, but they were not osgi friendly.. So I ended up in writing custom rest-api (using cxf jaxrs).

In the latest release (5.16.4) w've switched to Spring MVC for the rest api. This is supposed to be more osgi friendly vs before.
