Camel routes to resume/start Activiti task with variables

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I have setup spring boot with activiti and camel. I am trying to configure Camel routes to poll email to do the below. Some examples on the same would be really helpful:

• Resume a activti task 
• Start a activiti task

For e.g. to resume a user task we need to pass something like the below to Acitviti Rest API which works fine

{"action" : "complete", "variables": [ {"name":"id, "value":1}, {"name":"outcome", "value":true} ]}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

UPDATE:

I started with the below for setting up Camel Routes, but not sure how to add variables that needs to be passed into activiti process:

@Component
public class MyCamelMailRouter extends RouteBuilder {
    @Override
    public void configure() throws Exception {
        from("imaps://imap.server.com?username=myemail@example.com&password=xxxxxx&consumer.delay=60000"
                + "&searchTerm.subject=Approving&searchTerm.unseen=true")
                .to("activiti:activationProcess:approval");
    }
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sayatan,

I'm unfamiliar with working with/around Camel within Activiti - but I did some snooping in Activiti's test cases and found something that I think might be what you're looking for. Take a look at the CamelVariableTransferTest.java: 

Activiti/modules/activiti-camel/src/test/java/org/activiti/camel/variables/CamelVariableTransferTest.java

It shows the call structure that Activiti uses to send variables.

Hope this helps. If this isn't the specific thing you're looking for, I'd recommend looking through some of their other Camel test cases

EDIT: For future reference - there is a question also been on StackOverflow relating to this content.
