'No Router defined' - what should I do ?

[danielbreitner]

Hi Activiti - Team,

I have set up activiti, and I see the process explorer.

But whatever I do, I am always getting the "no router defined" exception when I am trying to call a rest - service.

Here is my example call : http://localhost:8080/my-activiti-instance/activiti-rest/service/process-instance

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: No router defined

Hi,

the problem has not been solved yet, but I think I can add some more info:

When sending GET requests I am always getting a 500 Server Error because of "No Router Defined"

When sending POST requests, like

http://localhost:8080/my-app/activiti-rest/service/process-instance

(together with kermit / kermit authorization and a processDefinitionId) I alway get a 405 - Method not allowed.

So basically I am not able to invoke anything in activiti using REST and I don´t know why.

is there anybody who could help me ?

Hi,

You can't do a GET on /process-instance, only a POST.
But when you do a POST you've to provide a JSON body.
Did you look at the REST API description in the userguide?

Best regards,

[danielbreitner]

Hi, yes I provided a JSON body and I also provided an authentication (kermit / kermit).

Is there anything else I have to do ?

Is there a GET request that I can try out that should alway work ?

You simply missed an 's' at the end of the URL.
