How to merge activiti rest and explorer in a single war

[raimana]

Hey folks,

Hopefully this is the right place to post this… I am posting this here in the spirit of open source software and hoping it may help a few people 🙂

I've been trying to merge the explorer and the rest webapps in a single war recently, that's pretty straightforward but I needed a way to achieve this automatically in order to integrate this in a build pipeline…
So here is what I ended up doing: https://github.com/raimana/activiti_merger

All you have to do is set your LDAP and JDBC properties (see readme), run mvn install and that's it. It produces a tarball with Tomcat and the merged Activiti webapp already copied into the webapps directory…

Any suggestion, improvments please let me know!

PS1: help desk questions won't be answered.
PS2: this is still a bit dirty and I am sure there are many ways to improve this.
PS3: I am using a similar approach to deploy to AWS Beanstalk, pretty much the same thing but without Tomcat…

Nice work! Thanks for contributing this!

Many people have needed this in the past, I'm sure this will be useful for many to come!

Hi, this post is old and the activiti-merger module is no more up-to-date.

A more recent procedure to accomplish the same task can be found at

I hope Raimana can be still interested in updating his merger tool or rather Activiti's team will decide to integrate the next explorer with the activiti-rest API.

Bye
