How to connect Activiti with a dropwizard

[aurelienpel]

Hello,

I have developed a web application that uses Activiti engine for different treatments on my workflows. However I was asked to use a dropwizard in order not to work directly on the engine, but to circulate exchanges between the engine and my webapp through the dropwizard. As I didn't know how to use a dropwizard, I followed this tutorial: https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/getting-started.html
The communication between my webapp and my dropwizard doesn't have any problem, but I can't find how to establish communication between my dropwizard and Activiti engine. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thank you for helping me,

Best regards

Dropwizard is a Rest framework, so it depends on what you want:

- Expose new functions through a REST interface with DW –> include Activiti in your DW project and call the java api

- Call Activiti from a DW api –> Then you have to use the Activiti Rest API instead of the Java api
