Usage with a Pre-Built Distribution
The REST API is included in Camunda’s pre-built distributions.
It can be accessed via the context /engine-rest
and uses the engines provided by the class BpmPlatform
.
The default process engine is available out of the box by accessing /engine-rest/engine/default/{rest-methods}
or simply /engine-rest/{rest-methods}
. Any other shared (i.e., it is globally visible) process engine that is created later is available through /engine-rest/engine/{name}/{rest-methods}
without any further configuration.
Authentication is deactivated by default, but can be activated as described in the Authentication section.
