Hi,
We are considering Camunda to handle workflows in an already existing application where workflows are hard coded. Can you please suggest some tutorials or documentation on how to integrate with Camunda, API that Camunda offers etc?
Thanks,
Asritha
Hi @Asritha, welcome to the forum !!!
You can refer the below posts:
If you use springboot, you can check for Camunda Spring Boot Version Compatibility.
Thanks @aravindhrs for the reply.
" Another option is, without extracting the code from the business application you can embed the process engine with in the existing application itself."
I found the above reply in the post you suggested. I am looking at this option exactly. Can you please share some tutorial or guide for embedding the process engine in my application?
@Asritha are you using spring boot?
If you’re using spring boot, it’s very simple steps to integrate with camunda.
Check this page for Spring Boot Integration and Spring Boot Version Compatibility.
In your spring boot application,To enable Camunda BPM auto configuration, add the following dependency to your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.camunda.bpm.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>7.13.0</version>
</dependency>
To enable the REST API you can use the following starter in your pom.xml :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.camunda.bpm.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter-rest</artifactId>
<version>{project-version}</version>
</dependency>
To enable the Web Applications you can use the following starter in your pom.xml :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.camunda.bpm.springboot</groupId>
<artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter-webapp</artifactId>
<version>{project-version}</version>
</dependency>
Refer this page for Spring Process Engine Configuration.
Refer this example:
Also read about the Understanding Embedded Engine Specifics Using Spring Boot and Bootstrapping the Engine and Managing its Lifecycle.
Thank you @aravindhrs. Docs you shared helped. I am now able to integrate camunda with my existing spring boot application. But unable to login to camunda as it throws below error. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks:

@Asritha spring security related dependencies not required. So you can remove those dependency and check.
