Spring Boot: Unable to access rest api

1

Hi Team,
I created spring boot(2.4.11-SNAPSHOT) project and I have used flowable-spring-boot-starter-rest dependency. Application successfully started. However flowable-spring-boot-starter-rest should provide access to all engine’s rest-apis but im unable to access.

application.properties:
server.servlet.contextPath=/flowableOS

I can access only below rest api:
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/app-api/app-management/engine

when I try same with below URL
http://developer-docs.flowable.com/flowable-rest/service/history/historic-activity-instances?finished=false
as
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/service/history/historic-activity-instances?finished=false

it throws 404 error.

Need help on this.

Regards,
Anoop KV

Hey @anoopkv89,

If you have a look at our spring-boot-example you will see that the exposed REST endpoints for Flowable are:

  • process-api for the Process Engine
  • cmmn-api for the CMMN Engine
  • dmn-api for the DMN Engine
  • idm-api for the IDM Engine
  • form-api for the Form Engine
  • content-api for the Content Engine

Cheers,
Filip

Thank you for the response.
However according to the flowable documentation, there are around 8 API’s. And in your answer as well as example I can see around 6. I’m unable to find for few of them like Event Registry API, External Worker API, APP API. Can you please help me here.
Documentation:
All Flowable products are built on top of the Flowable open source project. Swagger documentation is available for the following:

  • BPMN API
  • DMN API
  • CMMN API
  • Event Registry API
  • External Worker API
  • APP API
  • Form API
  • Content API
  • Core API

Hi @anoopkv89

In your usecase you have to call the different REST APIs as follows:

http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/app-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/process-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/cmmn-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/dmn-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/idm-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/form-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/content-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/event-registry-api/<action>
http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/external-job-api/<action>

e.g. event-registry:

http://localhost:8081/flowableOS/event-registry-api/event-registry-repository/channel-definitions
