How to expose an AEM Forms OSGi workflow as REST/SOAP endpoint

[BibhuNayak]

Hi All,

In AEM Forms JEE workbench after creating a workflow we could expose it as a REST/SOAP endpoint. How can we do the same in OSGi workflow?

Thanks,

Bibhu.

Hi @BibhuNayak,

Yes, you can start a new workflow instance via HTTP request, POST method.

Method:
POST

Endpoint:
http://localhost:4502/etc/workflow/instances

Creates a new workflow instance. The parameters are:
- model: the ID (URI) of the respective workflow model
- payloadType: containing the type of the payload (for example JCR_PATH or URL).
The payload is sent as parameter payload. A 201 (CREATED) response is sent back with a location header containing the URL of the new workflow instance resource.
