I want to accomplish is to design my process model using the modeler running on port 8080 and then deploy this process into the Tomcat server running my Spring Boot 2 application. Thereafter, I should be able to monitor this process using the Admin UI
Hi,
Can you explain in a bit more detail what your exact question is?
Is there something you have tried that does not work?
Depending on your deployment scenario, the Flowable UI apps run on port 8080. That contains the modeler.
You can configure Flowable Admin to communicate with your custom Spring Boot application containing the Flowable REST API.
You can use Flowable Admin to monitor the engines but also deploy apps (which you create in Modeler) to the engine(s).
Hope this helps,
Yvo
Hi @yvo ,
Actaully i want to run my SpringBoot app with flowable ui like modeler so i added

Here is my full POM.XML

If you want the Flowable engine(s) and the REST API available in your custom Spring Boot app then you don’t need the UI starters but the flowable-spring-boot-starter-rest starter will suffice.
For example the Process engine’s REST API will by default be exposed on http://host:port/process-api/ …
You can look here for further info;

@yvo how can u see running processinstances in UI
(no need to reference me directly)
What do you mean;
Manage them in Flowable Admin? Or see the running processes ( / workflows) that you’ve created; deployed; and started in Flowable Task?
Yvo
basically i started my spring boot app in eclipse and i started process instances using custom rest controller .
But not able to see anything when i hit localhost:8080/flowable-ui
I’m sorry but this is insufficient info to provide help.
In order to analyse why ‘this just does not work’ we’ll need more info about your configuration, possible stack traces etc etc.
Perhaps start with the default Flowable UI distribution and see how things are working.
After that start building it up from scratch.
