How to start a process by web service.

[wojciech_kochma]

I would like to use activiti as an standalone process server.
Is it possible to start a process by using webservice?

Hi,

Activiti provides a REST interface out-of-the-box which you can use, more info here:

http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N12257

If you want a SOAP web service then it's very easy to wrap the RuntimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey in a web service with for example Apache CXF.

Best regards,

Like you need to do when wrapping any other code in a webservice with trhe framework of your choice. Has nothing to do with Activiti
