Custom API for Activiti Engine in Community Edition

[chandanmb1]

Hello,

Now i need to write some specific API for Runtime Service
like
1. Skip  a task in Activiti

Question
1. Is it possible to write our own API for the engine to perform like this ? If yes, how to achieve it.
2. Can we override the behavior of the API in Activiti  ?
     like SuspendProcessInstancebyID(ID) -> I need to implement our own logic of executing this method, is it possible ?

Regards,
Chandan

Hi Chandan,
have a look here, it should help you.
http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#_rest_support

You can create a custom REST endpoint and then you can do what you need by invoking the specific services.

You can replace the existing services and plug in your own implementation easily.
