I try to test a process with tasks and catching events. I created a process, deployed and started it in activiti demo application. It run as expected and wait at the event for a signal. How can I signal that event in activiti demo application? I tried to use activiti REST API, but it failed with mes

The explorer doesn't allow signaling an execution? What exact REST-call did you use?

I used restty to send a http post

http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer/service/process-instance/1327/signal/

and set the json body to contain the activity id which is waiting for signal

body: {"activityId":"sid-03DB14B3-00E5-41C4-9F99-9B968AD21B1C"},

The response to this rest call is 'method not allowed'. But I actually included http basic authentication in the http header 'kermit:kermit' (base64). I'm new to Activiti and try to test the event signaling. I used a separate process which include an throwing event to complete my test. But really love to know how to use rest API to send signal.

Method not allowed means the method you're using (I suppose POST, dhouble-check that) is not allowed to be called on that URL.

HAve you tried calling http://localhost:8080/activiti-explorer/service/process-instance/1327/signal (without the ending "/").
