Both methods yield the same webservice-result (discussed below).&nbsp; After seeing that the activiti-explorer is running and activiti-rest webservice are NOT running (via TOMCAT /MANAGER page), I start the H2 DB.&nbsp; THen validate that activiti-rest is running,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>It's worth mentioning that I've also started the H2 DB first and THEN started TOMCAT; yet, I still get the same webservice-result (discussed below).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I open the Activiti-Explorer website and start the 'Vacation Request' process.&nbsp; I fill in the form with a few days and a date as the form requires.&nbsp; I then start the process and switch to the TASKs viewer to validate the process is started.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>/home/virtualme/apache-tomcat-7.0.34/webapps/activiti-explorer/WEB-INF/activiti-standalone-context.xml War file (partial) config:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><BR />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;…<BR />&nbsp;
