JBPM6 + REST API

[tvraghavan]

Am exploring the JBPM6 capabilities and at present using JBOSS BPMS installation

Env:

JBOSS EAP - 6.2

JBOSS BPMS - 6.0

Installation was smooth. Modeled a sample "helloworld" bpmn2 and the sample process works by invoking via the process management option.

As part of integration, we are trying to invoke the process via REST API

Query:

1) Is there any JBPM6 REST API documentation ?

2) Tried to access the REST endpoint via "http://localhost:8080/business-central/rest/deployment"

We receive an error that states "Could not find MessageBodyWriter for response object of type: java.util.ArrayList of media type: application/xml"

Any pointers on how

3) we can invoke a process instance via REST API

4) Signal a task via REST API

Thanks

You can have a look at the userguide: Chapter 17. Remote API

Invoke a process instance would look like this; POST http://localhost:8080/jbpm-console/rest/runtime/org.jbpm:human-resources:1.0/process/hiring/start

With variables: POST http://localhost:8080/jbpm-console/rest/runtime/org.jbpm:human-resources:1.0/withvars/process/hiring/start?map_name=Marc

AFAK you can only signal a process, but not a task.
