Or are you planning to do your own application? For the simplified web interface, if you are using jbpm-console, I think there is a set of REST API you could use to interact with it (start a process, complete a task, etc.).

So, jbpm API are the classes and methods that allow you to compile a process, start a process and interact withit (signal events or complete tasks). jbpm-console is a web application that lets you manage and interacto with processes in a visual way. Under the hood, jbpm-console uses jbpm API. If you are planning to use jbpm-console, then I would suggest you to implement your simplified web ui using REST API: http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.2/userguide/ch11.html#d0e3556 http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.2/userguide/ch11.html#d0e3556 The REST API implementation in jbpm-console will internally use jbpm API to execute the commands.

You can see it this way: jbpm runtime is a bunch of *jars* you can use in wathever application you want. Jbpm-console is a web application (*war*) that uses jbpm runtime. So, for steps 1 and 2, you will need to deploy an instance of jbpm-console instead of create your own web application that uses jbpm-runtime. In theory there is a way to do this: both applications (jbpm-console and your own application using the API) must be configured to use the same database and HT server instance. I never tried this before, so I'm not sure if this solution works without any other customization. Maybe someone else that have tried this can help you here.  Best Regards, -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/716147#716147] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
