Deploying with REST

rdiaz1

Hi there,

I´m trying to deploy a bpmn20.xml in Activiti with the REST Api.
I can see in the user guide the explication for this..

Request: POST /deployments

success={success}&failure={success}&deployment={file}

But when I access with the browser to all Web Scripts, this service is not found.
I´ve seen checking the source code the resource "deployment.post.desc.xml" but with a change in the path (/deployment) and the DeploymentPost web script is there also..

FormData.FormField file = ((WebScriptServletRequest) req.getWebScriptRequest()).getFileField("deployment");

How i have to put the param "file"? what is "file"? I´m using Jax-rs client api and I tried with Attachment and MultipartBody but doesn´t work
I don´t know if I´m wrong in something or this service is not possible currently.

Thanks

The parameter 'file' should be the filename of the file you want to upload, not the actual file itself.
The property "deployment" is the actual content, which is a multipart massage.

About the URL, that should indeed be '/deployment POST' instead of deployments.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Hi again,

Can you give me an example with a simple http client, please?It´s impossible to me make it work…

If the url is only "/deployment", how can I set the argument "file"?and the property "deployment"?

I´m sorry but I didn´t understand your reply really..

Tanks a lot
