Start Example-Report via REST

I want to start the "task-duration-report" via the rest service, but it won't start. I was able to start one of the other processes, but this one always fails:

Header:

POST /activiti-webapp-explorer2/rest/runtime/process-instances HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Authorization: Basic a2VybWl0Omtlcm1pdA==
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Cache-Control: no-cache
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Data:

{
  "processDefinitionId":"task-duration-report:1:46",
  "variables":[
    {
      "name":"processDefinition",
      "value":"reviewSaledLead:1:38"
    },
    {
      "name":"chartType",
      "value":"pieChart"
    }
  ],
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

reply

{
    "errorMessage": "The server understands the content type of the request entity and the syntax of the request entity is correct but was unable to process the contained instructions",
    "statusCode": 422
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍

what do I do wrong?

P.S.
I've started the REST servlet with the activiti-webapp-explorer2 mapped to the /rest pattern

Hi,

The request body which I use for starting the process with variables
<br>{<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; "processDefinitionKey":"vacationRequest",<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; "businessKey":"myBusinessKey",<br>"employeeName":"gonzo",<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "numberOfDays":"10",<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "startDate":"01-01-2015 12:00",<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "vacationMotivation":"I need to."<br>}<br>
More info:
