Hi,
I have an app using Spring Boot with below versions :
Spring-Boot: (v2.2.6.RELEASE)
Camunda BPM: (v7.12.0)
Camunda BPM Spring Boot Starter: (v3.4.0)
it is working as expected so far : I have a custom controller, for which I receive a payload, extract informations from it before passing it to the processEngine.
My endpoint is POST /decisionCalculation, and I also use the Camunda endpoints under the /rest/history resources.
Now I need to make some changes, and to make it clearer, I wanted to move my endpoint under /api/decisionCalculation . To my surprise, this doesn’t work. I tried with another prefix, like /test-vincent/decisionCalculation and it worked.
When I have /api/decisionCalculation as an endpoint, I get a strange error 500. The log is identical to the test that works, up to the WARN below. And then I get a “java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot create a session after the response has been committed” which leads to the 500 error

I tried using /rest as a prefix, but then I get a 404… probably because the /rest prefix is already “reserved” for the Camunda API.
The issue is quite strange and the error message not helping… Maybe I missed it, but during my investigations, I haven’t found anything mentioning that issue. Since /api is a quite common prefix, I assume others would face it too and be puzzled.
Is there a way to still use the /api prefix for my own API when using the Spring Boot starter ?
(in the meantime, I am going with the /rest-api/ prefix, which works)
Thanks !
