Did anybody face this exception before? What does this "No router defined" mean?

Hi,

No router defined means that the URI doesn't matches a registered REST service class.
We've rewritten the REST services for Activiti 5.7 with Restlet and this one seems to be not there.
I'll see that we add this REST service for the next release.

Thanks,

Thanks for considering that.

BTW, I would also recommend to align the json properties returned by "Get Process Definition" (/process-definition) with the json requested by "Start Process Instance" (/process-instance). While /process-definition returns "id" and "key", /process-instance requires "processDefinitionId" and "businessKey". When using a binding framework we are forced to create two classes, one for each service just because of this difference.

Has the REST service /process-definition been added as stated in the previous reply?  I am using Activiti 5.8 and am still getting the "No router defined" exception when I try to use the service.

Thank you.
