How to start a process from an external java application

[mctouch1]

Hi,

Could anybody point me to how I can start a process from an external java application. Is it possible for a message start event to have a listener of some sort?

Thanks in advance

Marc

Hi Marc.

You just need some Java code to start a process, here you find an example (if you have access to the database): http://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/trunk/modules/activiti-cycle-maven-template/src/main/java/....

Another possibility is to use the REST-API: http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html#N11AD9
