How to install activiti-rest.war on JBoss 7?

[mpgong]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone has installed activiti on jboss 7 that could shed some light on the error i get below.  I can deploy the explorer but not the rest war.

Thanks.

Hi mpgong,

I had the same problem and removing the activiti-cxf.jar from the WEB-INF/lib folder did the trick. Now I am getting HTTP 403 errors but I assume this is fine because I don't want to grant everybody free access to my process engine's API It furthermore shows that the deployment was successful.

cheers,

Hi,

I have JBoss 5.1.0 in my environment and I would like to integrate Activiti in to it.  Could you please correct me with below steps of integration?  Please note I only want activiti-engine and i dont want activiti-explorer because we may not use it.

1) copy the below directory from the Activiti installation to your jboss directory
from: F:\activiti-5.10\apps\apache-tomcat-6.0.32\webapps\activiti-rest
to: F:\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy

2) modify the below files accordingly
activiti-context.xml
db.properties
logging.properties

3) Restart the app server

Am i missing anything?

Thanks,
Raj

Nope, that should be it. If you only need the rest API, you

- copy the rest war
- adapt the db properties if needed
- restart and pray

[kethur]

Thanks.  When you say rest-api that is nothing but activiti-engine.  Am I right?

[jbarrez]

Well, that is indeed only the engine (+ mandatory dependencies, not many of them) and of course the webapp that exposes the rest operations on the engine.
