I am not looking out to invoke REST call,more interested in invoking a Camuna Java api directly. Please help.

This documentation should help you out:https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.8/user-guide/spring-boot-integration/rest-api/

Then end point you’re looking for, if you’re running it locally is http://localhost:8080/rest/engine.

I have tried building a custom screen using Angular UI and used the REST API on button submit to start the process.

I just want to know how to implement the below call in Angular UI code i.e directly invoke a Java API instead of REST call

<h:commandButton id=“submit_button” value=“Submit Request” action="#{camundaTaskForm.completeProcessInstanceForm()}" />

You only need to use some boiler-plate JavaScript to make the rest call - the camunda specific calls you’ll need to make are:

  1. Query for the specific task you want to act on via Get Task
  2. Complete that task with the ID returned in the first call via the Complete call

Thats how most UI’s integrate with Camunda
