Activiti as a library or Activiti Explorer?
In both case, you will need to store the file on disk, and store a reference to it in Activiti. Later on, fetch it using that id in the service task.

I want upload file from user task(form parameter). later this uploaded file will be processed by service task.

e.g. Employee will upload his resume to activiti( in user task). Nest step will to process this uploaded file(fetching required details about from resume file in to database using service task).

is it possible using activiti?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible, the way  desribed above. You'll need to implement the code for storing the file and updating it yourself.
