Demo Setup REST not working

smee82

Hello,

i'm new to activiti an tried the demo setup. Now i wanted to test the REST-Service but i only get HTTP Status 404. My Tomcat Webapps Activit-rest folder only contains a WEB-INF/lib Folder with an activiti-engines-example.jar. Is there anything wrong with my demo-setup and how can i manually deploy the rest-service and bring it to work?

Thanks for your answers.

Hi,

That doesn't sound right. Did you do a "ant demo.start" in the setup directory?

Best regards,

Yes I did, and the activiti-explorer is working but not the rest-service. I don't like to redo the setup from the start, because i also had proxy problems with the build script. Is there a way to fix the rest thing (copy files manually, configure tomcat etc…..)?
This is the current output when i start the demo:

Right, you can look in the setup/build.xml in the Activiti installation directory.
There's a target named deploy.activiti.webapps.into.tomcat, you may want to run that one again.
Make sure the previous Activiti REST webapp build in the setup/build/webapps dir and the Tomcat webapps dir are deleted beforehand.

Thanks for your help

I used target deploy.activiti.webapps.into.tomcat as you said and it worked.
Also testet the rest service via Putty. The Http Basic Authentication is not really explained in the user guide. So i think the following could help others trying to access the rest service.
(kermit:kermit encoded in base64 -> a2VybWl0Omtlcm1pdA==)
