We're still at the restaurant to create a user interface for the ACME Restaurant waiter. Following a very special recipe, we will create those UIs with the technology of our choice - other than the Bonita UI Designer - and connect them to Bonita. During this session we will be using the exact same project we created at the previous stop and create an external UI using Angular.
Questions Answered During this Session
- How can I connect to Bonita from my external user interface?
- What is the X-Bonita-API-Token used for?
- Is there an easy way to debug my API calls?
- How can I verify the requirements of the Bonita REST APIs?
- How can I enable CORS on my Bonita Tomcat bundle?
- Do I need to use HTTPS?
- What is the difference with the interfaces created with the UI Designer?
- Is there any limitation on the technology that I can use for creating my user interfaces?
- Can I do exactly the same from my external UI than the ones created with the UI Designer?
- How can I retrieve the users task?
- How can I execute a task using the REST APIs?
- How can I retrieve the variables of a process instance (a.k.a. case)?

Thanks a lot for the wonderful presentation. Is there a plan to talk about using Business Data for Reporting. I tried to get some documentation on the subject, but it is like they removed all details related to that. Even the integration between Bonitasoft and Jasper report was removed from your documentation, and I need clarification on whether there is a specific accepted approach for Business Intelligence with Bonita. I can see that for JPQL; the system is not taking advanced queries supporting aggregation and custom field selection. Is there something about it? Or some best practices on charting and reporting.
