Activiti Community Edition - Task to Invoke REST API

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'm trying to design a simple workflow. A user task to collect some data. Then a system task to invoke a REST API with the data collected in the first task. I see Alfresco has a REST task. What is the cleanest way to have a task invoke a REST API using Activiti 6 Community Edition? I'd love to do this through native configuration of the business process running a standalone Activiti engine if possible.

create a service task and call your java impl that calls your rest API and stores info in variables
