Spring JMS Listener and Activiti BPM

[soaguy]

Hi all,
         I want to start an Activiti business process instance when a message arrives on a queue. I can build the jms listener using Spring JMS and deploy to tomcat container as a WAR. But how do I communicate to the ProcessEngine to start an instance sending the payload? The ProcessEngine itself is running under the activiti-explorer.war in a spring container. What is the best practice to build integrations over the activiti engine in standalone mode?

Thanks

The best way is to use the Activiti REST API for this purpose. Then you can invoke the correct REST API service from your Spring JMS application.

Best regards,
