    • Method Detail

      • createProcessInstanceBuilder

        ProcessInstanceBuilder createProcessInstanceBuilder()
        Create a ProcessInstanceBuilder, that allows to set various options for starting a process instance, as an alternative to the various startProcessInstanceByXX methods.
      • startProcessInstanceByKey

        ProcessInstance startProcessInstanceByKey​(String processDefinitionKey)
        Starts a new process instance in the latest version of the process definition with the given key.
        Parameters:
        processDefinitionKey - key of process definition, cannot be null.
        Throws:
        org.flowable.common.engine.api.FlowableObjectNotFoundException - when no process definition is deployed with the given key.
      • startProcessInstanceByKey

        ProcessInstance startProcessInstanceByKey​(String processDefinitionKey,

        Starts a new process instance in the latest version of the process definition with the given key.

        A business key can be provided to associate the process instance with a certain identifier that has a clear business meaning. For example in an order process, the business key could be an order id. This business key can then be used to easily look up that process instance , see ProcessInstanceQuery.processInstanceBusinessKey(String). Providing such a business key is definitely a best practice.

        Parameters:
        processDefinitionKey - key of process definition, cannot be null.
        businessKey - a key that identifies the process instance and can be used to retrieve the process instance later via the query API.
        Throws:
        org.flowable.common.engine.api.FlowableObjectNotFoundException - when no process definition is deployed with the given key.
