JBPM RESTful service

[williajd]

Hi,

I'm investigating using JBPM over a RESTful web service and think the service described at http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.1/userguide/ch11.html#d0e3206 might be a good start.

I'm hoping that someone can provide me with some more details so I can evaluate whether to use this. At the very least I need to know the following:

1) Is there a more detailed description? I have looked at the http://localhost:8080/gwt-console-server/rs/server/resources page and it is a good start but I need more. EG. What is the POST method expecting to be included in the submit?

2) Where is the code? I have been looking through the JBPM source and have found nothing referring to these services. The build is quite complex and seems to create a web.xml file with reference to RestEasy.

  <servlet>

    <servlet-name>Resteasy</servlet-name>

    <servlet-class>

      org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServletDispatcher

    </servlet-class>

  </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-name>Resteasy</servlet-name>

    <url-pattern>/rs/*</url-pattern>

  </servlet-mapping>

Thanks

James

Right now the documentation is very sparse. What you are already looking at is pretty much it. I figured most of it out looking at the network traffic while playing with the console.

The gwt-server is a combination of two components. One being the bpm console that is for both Riftsaw and JBPM. This code can be found at https://github.com/bpmc/bpm-console/tree/master/server/integration/src/main/java/org/jboss/bpm/console/server/integration

The second piece is the actual jbpm implementation which can be found at https://github.com/droolsjbpm/jbpm/tree/master/jbpm-gwt/jbpm-gwt-core/src/main/java/org/jbpm/integration/console
