retrieve previous task data using REST API

[josh3006]

Hi,

I'm new to Activiti here, right now I have deployed Activiti in Servicemix and using REST-API to access it.

I would like to get my variables saved in previous task. How can I retrieve it from REST API

Any idea ?

Currently, the REST-api doesn't expose the history-tables (HistoricTaskInstance and HistoricDetails) which you need for this. So you'll have to add this to the existing REST-services or think of another solution.

The userguide has a lot of docs related to tasks. Eg. getting task assigned to you (for other filters possible, see userguide http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#restTasksGet😞

GET http://localhost:8081/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks?assignee=kermit[code]

response:
