Then activiti goes into a wait state. Then a job executor picks up the job and executes it in a new thread. When the job is finished, activiti picks up the results and continues.&nbsp; Is that accurate?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:16:51 GMT groopk 2013-03-11T15:16:51Z Question about activiti-rest.war and jobs https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/question-about-activiti-rest-war-and-jobs/m-p/129657#M91089 We are just in the beginning stages of prototyping with Activiti, and I have a couple of questions-1) Is activiti-rest.war intended for production use?&nbsp; We plan to use a standalone workflow engine and would like a rest api, so this would be a perfect fit for us. 1b)&nbsp; Is there any rest client code al Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:16:51 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/question-about-activiti-rest-war-and-jobs/m-p/129657#M91089 groopk 2013-03-11T15:16:51Z Re: Question about activiti-rest.war and jobs https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/question-about-activiti-rest-war-and-jobs/m-p/129658#M91090 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>1) Although the REST-api currently does not cover the full Java Actvivti API, it's production-ready. Please note that in 5.13, there will be an overhaul of the REST to support more (or the full) API and make it more consistent.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1b) Currently, I'm not aware of such a client-framework I'm afraid.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>2) Almost correct. Only the last part is slightly different. The job-executor-thread that executes the job will execute the async service-task AND the rest of the process until a wait-state has been reached, another async-activity or the end of the process.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 12 Mar 2013 08:26:13 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/question-about-activiti-rest-war-and-jobs/m-p/129658#M91090 frederikherema1 2013-03-12T08:26:13Z
