start a process using code

[kavi]

Hi ,

Can you tell me as how to use this code to start a process i defined?
The process is started by

ProcessInstance processInstance = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("financialReport");‍

How to use this code in my own application to start the process?

Thanks,
kavi

Kavi,

I honestly think you need to learn the basics of Java first, maven, look at the examples, and buy the 'Activiti in Action' book. These questions are so basic, non Activiti related, that if you do not learn these things you'll be stuck again in no time and people will be less and less willing to help you.
