BPMN REST tasks allow you to invoke REST endpoints within your BPMN processes. You can achieve this by adding a REST Task and handling the REST invocation part in a process implementation. This tutorial simulates a scenario, in which you access a REST endpoint of a Health Care Service via a REST Task to retrieve information of a patient appointment, and approve it based on the date as an administrator.

Deploying the backend service

Download the MSF4J service from Git Hub  and copy the JAR file to the  <EI_HOME>/wso2/msf4j/deployment/microservices directory. The back-end service is now deployed in the MSF4J profile of WSO2 EI.

2. Send a request to the Backend service by entering the below details using a REST Client (e.g., Postman).

   Tip
   In the Payload, set the appointment_date to a date, which is minimum one day after today's date. For example, in the below payload, it is assumes that today's date is 2018-08-14 so that 2018-08-16 is set as the appointment_date.
