I have developed a Spring application and deployed the same in tomcat server. activiti engine and activiti rest resides in the same server. I have created a process in Activiti explorer and deployed the same in it. Using REST api i am submitting a form, completing a task from my spring application….. The changes which i do via spring rest is reflected in Activiti explorer.
My question is if i keep the same bpmn file in my application and use java api to submit a from, complete a task…etc. Will it reflect in activiti explorer or REST is the only way.
As long as your API calls, REST calls and Activiti Explorer point to the same Activiti database, the actions that your perform with any one of them can bee seen using others since they all point to the same DB.
