WebServices and workflow

[nowhere]

Hi all,
I was looking for a way to interact with alfresco workflows by webservices…can you tell me if it's possible and where I should look for documentation about it?

I'm not new at alfresco workflow, but I'm newbie dealing with webservices.
Thanks for any suggestion 🙂

Hi nowhere,
you can use the webscript api to do access spring beans to steer workflows (and almost everything else in Alfresco). In the Developer guide by Jeff Potts, there is a good example, I recall. Should be something on the WIKI as well.

Hi Norgan,
Thanks for your reply!
I know about webscripts and I already did it. But now I'm in a different scenario: let's say I have two alfresco instances, one local, one remote.
I have a workflow started on first and I want to start another on the second as soon as a task in completed in first. So I want to start the second remote workflow from a class extending JBPMSpringActionHandler with call to remote alfresco. I could use HttpURLConnection class to recall a webscript, but I was wondering to face the issue with webservices. Any suggestion about the best or an alternative way?
