Using Activiti REST to start process and show in Activiti Explorer

[alexm123]

I am working on Activiti REST and try to use REST service to start a process.

I read and watch a lot of tutorial and posts, but all of them are using REST client and nothing will change in the Activiti Explorer

No instance show in kermit's task, no data stored in the database.

I wonder if there is a way to see the change in Activiti Explorer.

Thanks

Are you sure both web applications are configured to use the same database ?

[alexm123]

I believe I did configured to use same database
I have change both db.propreties to
db=mysql
jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/activiti
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=root

any addition configuration need?..

Also…my activiti.war is deployed successfully in Tomcat. but when I go to localhost:8080/activiti-rest.. it return 404 not found. maybe this is the reason?.

What version of Activiti?

You should see bootup information on both servers indicating if it's connecting to a database or not.
