It's evil, don't do it

You can use the rest-interface for this, consuming JSON is possible in .NET. If the rest-interface doesn't provide enough possibilities, you could write your own webservice/rest-service on top of the engine API. SInce it's easily embeddable in any java-app…

Hi ,

Can you tel me as how to write my own webservice to extend a process as webservice?

I want to know as how to extend a process as a webservice.

Kindly send me the detailed explanation as i am new to activiti and it would be better if i can get a sample for this.

I just want to extend a process as webservice. So that i can use this webservice to call this process from other application

In one of your post you have told
  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>>> How to implement this? Can you give me detailed example for this. How to extend a process as SOAP web service?

Thanks,

I answered that in your other (duplicate!) post.

Kindly send me the detailed explanation as i am new to activiti and it would be better if i can get a sample for this.

I think it is better if you learn a litte basic stuff about java, java frameworks, and where to find and ask for examples. The basics of creating a webservice layer has nothing to do with Activiti.

I just want to extend a process as webservice. So that i can use this webservice to call this process from other application

Like mentioned before, you can do it, but a rest interfaces is already available iwth most of the api, so why go for a webservice one?

with for example Apache CXF>>> How to implement this? Can you give me detailed example for this. How to extend a process as SOAP web service?

How to create a webservice with Apache CXF can be found on their site. In greate detail. How to do htis for a process are the details then. But keep in mind, that will become lots of different webservice calls if you want to implement most of the api and again, that is already done in rest, so why a webservice?

But can u help as how to use Rest Interface to call a process from other application?

I would be thankful if you provide me with a sample application.

Thanks,

Hi Kavi, I am working on a similar requirement and exploring Activiti as my workflow designer engine. If you can share some code snippets showing how u consumed Rest interface in u r dot net application, it will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

Consuming http in .Net should be fairly straightforward and not particular to Activiti, no?
