REST API support for Service Task & WebService Task - Query

[sankarts]

1) Whether Activiti has support for REST API support to realize service / background task? Is there any documented workaround to achieve the same?

To elaborate, Java Service Task can be realized with Java Class, Expression or Delegate Expression. Similar fashion, a service task can be realized through REST API call?

2) I could find "Web Service Task" in the user guide, but it is still mentioned as "Experiential".
Do we have any road map by when it is expected to be stable and in turn can be used?

Thanks in advance.

1) A REST call can be implemented using a Java service task. There's no out-of-the-box support yet, but we are looking at this for a future release.

2) It's mentioned as experimental because it's a very basic implementation. But because it's BPMN based it can be considered stable from a definition standpoint. The implementation can change however, when we would like to support more complex use cases.
