Hi,  
I have developed a webapp with Spring, and a process with Bonita BPM.  
I’m using Tomcat.  
the question is how can i start the process from one of my webapp page?

Hi,

you can use REST API: [http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/web-rest-api-overview-0](http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/web-rest-api-overview-0)  
see [http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/web-rest-api-examples-0#start\_case](http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/web-rest-api-examples-0#start_case)

Regards,

Should I install somthing, except for bonita-client.jar?  
Because the url `
http://localhost:8080/bonita/API/identity/user/
`doesn’t work.
