How to create a webservice task using the Activiti designer?

[raj1]

How to create a webservice task using the Activiti designer? Also is it possible to deploy the modeled BPMN process as a web service in Activiti engine, so that the Business process can be invoked via soap?

Please guide me!

Hi,

Currently a web service task is not yet available in the Designer. Maybe in the next version.
No, a process can not be exposed as a SOAP web service automatically yet.
Of course you could implement it yourself quite easily.
And you could use the REST interface which does provide this functionality.

Best regards,

Is the web service task supported by activiti 5.3? I am trying to run the activiti - cxf - example, but the WebServiceTaskTest.testWebServiceInvocation.bpmn20.zip  is not getting deployed using activiti probe.Has anyone tried out this example? Please Guide me !!!!!!!!

Are you sure all dependencies for the cxf-tests are in the activiti-rest /WEB_INF/lib/ folder?

[raj1]

Thanks for your reply. It was my mistake. I did not add the dependencies properly. The cxf example is running fine.

Best,
Raj
