My work starts from Create Order.This task will be triggered from some GUI screen.
I have written a RestController which will be exposed to GUI.How can i map CreateOrderController to the Camunda CreateOrder task .And I need to pass OrderInfo object to the next task i.e.“Place Order”

@RestController
public class CreateOrderController  {
	
	@PostMapping("/rest/create/order")
	public String createOrder(@RequestBody OrderInfo orderInfo) {
		System.out.println(" Order created with Order id  " + orderInfo.getOrderId());
		return "Order id created with " + orderInfo.getOrderId() ;
	}

There are different options.
For one, you can use the REST API to claim and complete a user task.

If you use Camunda 7 as an embedded engine, you can also use the process engine services.

For passing objects, such as orderInfo, Camunda Sping may help you:

That is one way. But you are starting the process twice.
You can also remove the user task and provide all information when you start the process.
