Using REST API needs to set up cookies

Q&A
1

Hi,

I am trying to connect bpm API by using chrome REST client extension.
First call made is http://@ip:port/bonita/loginservice
I set authorization headers for this post method.
What ever the credentials i set, i always get a 200 ok status, “Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=C496EA2177121C466D16E2A65BA2BD69; Path=/bonita/; HttpOnly”

But those informations do not allow me to call another method, like this one for example:
“http://localhost:8280/bonita/API/bpm/flowNode/6003”. Calling this url send an exception
with this message: “message”: “Session is null!”

I believe that the login step does not work.
Could you help one this one?

Bonita 6.5
jdk 1.8.0_73

Find below the response when calling the login step:

Talend MDM Workflow

Bonita is returning you to the login page because you did not send the correct user or password, see your line
#43

Unable to log in. Please check your username and password.

Did you send the correct credentials? try using a json format like:
{
“username”:“your_username”,
“password”:“your_password”,
“redirect”:false
}

or a query string like:
“username=your_username&password=your_password&redirect=false”

This is working much better with http://@ip:port/bonita/loginservice?username=your_username&password=your_password&redirect=false
I can get the cookie et perform the second call, ie retrieve a task description

Many thanks

I don’t get anything like that if I fail to find anything…

I’m intrigued though why your page is returning a Talend MDM Workflow page rather than a Bonita Workflow page could that be the reason?
