hey @kartik, The flowable-rest application only exposes REST APIs. What are you trying to access that you get “no static resource found” or “404”? ---

@kartik I’ve already answered this. > [@Flowable Updates](https://forum.flowable.org/t/flowable-updates/11810/4): > > No there is no way to get the Modeler JSON file from the runtime. I don’t think that it was ever possible to do that. Which endpoint are you trying to access? ---

That part I answered already in > [@Flowable Updates](https://forum.flowable.org/t/flowable-updates/11810/2): > > Hey @kartik, The Flowable runtime does not use the ACT\_RE\_MODEL table. From the runtime you cannot get to the model json used by the Flowable Modeler. Not sure what you mean by this. Flowable does not have rest/admin endpoints. That was used for the Flowable Admin UI, which is no longer supported from Flowable 7. Cheers, Filip ---

So these configurations wont work anymore? #rest config flowable.rest-api.enabled=true flowable.rest.context-root=/rest #admin config flowable.admin.enabled=true flowable.admin.context-root=rest/admin ---

Those properties never worked for the `flowable-rest` application. They were for the Flowable UI Application. Those were 2 different independent applications. From Flowable 7 there are no UI applications anymore. Only the Flowable REST application where the Flowable REST API is hosted. So no those properties won’t work, to be honest, I don’t think that they were official Flowable properties as well. ---

so lets say i want to build a flowable UI just for my application and i want to display the current processInstance that are running how should one achieve that? ---

You can use the Flowable REST APIs to get and display the data you want. You can read more about the existing REST APIs at - [Flowable Open Source REST API Documentation | Flowable Enterprise Documentation](https://documentation.flowable.com/latest/develop/core-swagger) - [REST API · Flowable Open Source Documentation](https://www.flowable.com/open-source/docs/bpmn/ch14-REST) - [Flowable Process Swagger Documentation](https://documentation.flowable.com/latest/assets/core-swagger/bpmn.html) ---

we can also display the entire process diagram at runtime? by this i mean show the diagram about which task the user is executing ---

You’ll need to build your own UI that can process the responses from the REST API. If you do that, then yes you would be able to display the diagram at runtime.
