Activiti BPMN: Web service invocation task

Question

I have created normal java service tasks with activiti BPMN. But how to do $subject? Do we have to do a java implementation and create a wsdl from it and proceed? In such a case, does activiti support wsdls? It would be great if a sample/ article could be given on this.

Thanks.

I couldn't get what you desire. You can invoke a Java method and then use your web service invoker to make a web service call. Am I missing something? — GokcenG
Yes GokcenG. So it seems that web service tasks are not supported OOTB in activiti yet. Was just checking if there is any other way to do it. Thanks — user2894296

You can use a Java Service Task and Apache CXF to build proxy-classes from your wsdl-file. Another approach is to use the webservice task, which is still experimental. For more information, take a look at this blogpost: http://www.bpm-guide.de/2010/12/09/how-to-call-a-webservice-from-bpmn/

Both approaches are also described in the Book "Activiti in Action".
