Start workflow from API remotely

[amrorabi]

Hello dears, please I have a question:

We're using Alfresco war version 4.2_e as server back end
I want to start workflow -deployed in Alfresco- remotely(i.e. by REST or other thing).

Does Alfresco expose API to start "any" workflow remotely (passing it workflow id and required parameters) ??

taking in consideration that Alfresco REST API hasn't implemented it yet according to its list in:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index/package/org/alfresco/repository/workflow

and as it is mentioned in Alfresco wiki:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Workflow_REST_API#Post_Workflow_Instance

Hi,

if you cannot use the REST workflow API, you can implement a simple webscript that uses the javascript API to instantiate the workflow.
The following link describes the api:

Hi, did you find a solution? are you capable to start a workflow with a post method?
