Now in few of our workflows, we are having requirement of some service tasks. So

Thanks Jbarrez!
So what do you suggest is the better approach -

1. Take Activiti-rest source code and put all service tasks and BPMNs inside its classpath and run.
2. Make a new project for the service tasks and BPMNs and put activiti-rest overlay inside the project.
3. Make a new spring-boot project and use activiti-spring-boot-starter-rest dependency and put our service tasks and BPMNs inside it.

Hi Amit,
for JVM there is no difference between the 3 cases you provided.
I would go with case 3. (this way your code is easier to develop and maintain and deploy.)

Thanks Vasile.

So, in case any suggestion on how I can override db.properties?

You don't. You create a Spring datasource and not use the db.properties approach (this is when Activiti is used standalone).
