Hello,

Would you mind elaborating a bit more your problem? What is the error, if any, on the stacktrace? How are you doing the aforementioned integration? etc. Please understand that the more clear details we have, the better anyone would be able to help.

Thanks

@Subhrai are you creating your own Spring Boot application?

What kind of UI are you looking for?

If you are looking something like the flowable-task application, then you can only get that with that application. The flowable-spring-boot support does not provide UI capabilities.

Hey @Subhrai,

If you are creating your own Spring Boot application you won’t have an UI where you can complete the tasks with the form. If you want to have an UI you would need to use the flowable-task.war.

By creating your own Spring Boot application you can use the REST API only.

Cheers,
Filip
