Activiti and .NET integration

[tj1]

Hi guys!

I am begin to use Activiti BPM, but I'm more .NET developer. My intention would be to use .NET code as much as I can, cause we have some process elements already implemented and they could be reused. At the moment I am aware of two possibilities:
1) Create services and use it via service tasks.
2) Use event or task listeners and in java code behind  use dlls, services or do other stuff there.

Do you know any other ways to integrate .NET in Activiti?

Thank you in advance!

The easiest would be to communicate with the Activiti engine using REST.
Regarding the logic that can be reused … Im not sure how .NET and java would be usable … I would also wrap them into .NET REST services and call them like that.

Activiti is a java framework, and some affinity with Java is needed  I'm afraid.
Basically, you have to download the zip from the website, download apache tomcat and drop it in the /webapps folder, then boot up the tomcat server.
