Starting a new business process from Java

  • 1.  Starting a new business process from Java

    Posted 03/11/08 01:37 PM

    Hi guys, I am new to webMethods and have created a business process in the Designer (7.1); I have uploaded it to the tast engine and I am able to start it by a trigger document from the Designer (by publishing a document) and process
    manual tasks in it.

    What I want to archive is to integrate this process (at least the manual steps)
    within my proprietary Java Swing client.

    Therefore I had a look at the “7-1-1_Task_Engine_API_and_Service_Reference.pdf”
    document which describes how to interact with the task engine. I can queue a task and also query information about it but what I really need is to start a complete
    business process. I guess when I use the queueTask method of this API there is no
    context to a business process at all?

    Can you please give me a hint on how to get started with this szenario; unfortunately I did not find any documentation on starting/managing business processes from within a Java API?

    Many thanks in advance,
