Activiti with Dropwizard

[adarsh]

Hi Team,

I am very grateful and congratulate for such a robust and out of box framework.

I am using activiti work flow in my company, We follow micro service architecture , all our service are in dropwizard framework,
so I need your advice and help to achieve the same. Kindly provide and post or blogs if there are any.

Thanks In advance.

Hi,

thanks for the positive feedback!

Could you provide some more info on what you're trying to achieve? Are you looking to implement Activiti in micro service oriented environment? Or create a dropwizard-ish layer on top on Activiti?
Please provide some additional info.

Kind Regards,

Yvo

It's pretty easy to add Activiti to dropwizard: add the dependency of Activiti and speak to it using the API's, that's really all there is!

Dropwizard is jersey based, I am using activiti-spring which comes with restlet. So do we have any activiti-dropwizard dependency module available ?? Also Dropwizard creates shadow jar and uses jetty as application container, where as  activiti-spring has WAR and runs on tomcat. So I have to re-wire all these. Has anyone already solved for this ?

You don't need the activiti-spring or the rest api.  or do you want to embed the REST API in dropwizard … that would be trickier

Simply add the activiti-engine and expose the methods you want is what I was I talking about.

I actually need to embed REST API in dropwizard.

Please guide.

Hasn't been done before. Take a look at the Spring Boot / Activiti Rest integration to get some ideas.
