I tried to get properties of task from via:
http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/form/{taskId}/properties

I got following exception:

I tried on Tomcat 6.0.32, 6.0.33, 7.0.20 and the problem occurs.
Activiti 5.7.

Could you help me with that?
Thanks!

What properties does the task exactly have (keys + values) you were trying to get?
