Spring Boot Contextual Programming

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

Hi! Currently I’am trying to setup a project with Spring boot and use the camunda engine (version 7.12.0) (using all the setup described in the documentation.
Now I was trying to use @StartProcess annotation and I am having a hard time trying to make it start the actual process. I have already tried to replicate some code from the unit tests that are available in the camunda source-code to the runtime.

Is it possible (and how) to use those annotations with spring-boot or am I forced to inject and use the RuntimeService?

Best Regards

The StartProcess annotation is part of the CDI addon and not compatible with spring boot. So you are “forced” to use the java API (runtimeService).
Currently I am not aware of any plans to support this in spring boot … maybe you could create a feature request issue.
