REST for camunda spring boot

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

Hello.

I tried camunda spring boot and like it very much. As i worked with spring boot rest a lot in the past, i tried to add a rest controller to camunda spring boot like this:

@RestController
public class SomeTestController
{
@Autowired
private RuntimeService runtimeService;

@RequestMapping("/hellobpmn")
public SomeResult doSomethingWithTheProcessEngine(@RequestParam(value = "someProcessKey") String someProcessKey)
{
    // do something with the engine (start a process or query some result)
    long count = runtimeService.createProcessInstanceQuery().count();
    
    // ...
    
    SomeResult someResult = new SomeResult();
    return someResult;
}

}

I had to add some dependencies to the pom.xml in order to be able to use @RestController (i stole them from my spring boot rest project):

	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
		<scope>test</scope>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId>
		<artifactId>json-path</artifactId>
		<scope>test</scope>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-rest</artifactId>
	</dependency>

On firing up the jar by using

java -jar camunda-spring-boot-example-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

everything seems ok, but i am not able to access the rest controller by using

http:/localhost:8080/hellobpmn

from the browser (as i am used to do).

Can you tell me what i am missing?

Thanks,
Stefan
