How to use ServiceTask to make REST call?

[alfresco1576]

Hi !!

I need help ASAP

I want to implement ServiceTask using expression and variable that holds the URL. So if the variable changes, the URL changes and can be used in the ServiceTask to do the REST call.

Can someone help me with examples, if possible?

Thanks for the help !!

Hi,

You can use a Script task instead and implement the REST call in Groovy. There are examples out there:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can use JavaDelegate and make rest call from that.

By Default Rest Call component is there so you can use that also.

Hi @sanjaybandhniya

Actually I was trying to find a way other than Java but thank you for the inputs as I will keep that in the bucket.
