Have you read the User Guide section on REST? (http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#_general_activiti_rest_principles) "Section 15.5.4. Start a process instance" seems like it is relevant to what you want to do.

Hi,
if you want to start a process on clicking a button on a web page there are multiple solutions, it depends on how your application is designed and how your application is using Activiti.

A good starting point is the documentation (http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html).
I recommend you also downloading the source code for at least 2 reasons:
1. can study the code in order to understand how it's done
2. will help you during debugging
