The Activiti REST API is implemented with Restlet. However, internally at Alfresco we do use Spring MVC a lot. It's a matter of taste.

1001 communication error is something I don't know.

We use the default SSL support of Restlet. Which means that you install a certificate on the REST server only.

Thanks a lot. So the certificate has to be set in the REST Server like
<code>
parameters.add("sslContextFactory",
        "org.restlet.ext.ssl.PkixSslContextFactory");
        parameters.add("keystorePath", "\<path\>serverX.jks");
        parameters.add("keystorePassword", "password");
        parameters.add("keyPassword", "password");
        parameters.add("keystoreType", "JKS");
</code>
