Start process is a blocking call?

[esseti]

Hi all.
i'm playing with the rest api.
i'm trying to start the process calling

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

.
My process is a task that i extended that should do the polling, so keeps going on and on.
i noticed that the rest call for starting the process basically blocks because the first task is on going, so the start action does not return anything.

is this normal? does not sound strange? what should i do?

Ok, is solved it.
for those who are interested do this:
- set your task as asyncronous or via ui, or place this activiti:async="true" in the task definiton.
- enable the jobprocessing for the rest apis, it is disbled by default (while in the explorer it's enabled). so go to /activiti-rest/WEB-INF/classes/activiti-context.xml set this as true <property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="true" />
