Web applications

Starting from CIB seven 2.0, the default web application is CIB seven webclient. To enable the webclient application you can use the following starter in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.cibseven.bpm.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>cibseven-bpm-spring-boot-starter-webapp</artifactId>
  <version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>

By default the application path is /webapp, so without any further configuration you can access the CIB seven webclient under http://localhost:8080/webapp.

Note: The previous Camunda web applications are still accessible at http://localhost:8080/camunda, however, this endpoint is deprecated and will be discontinued in the future releases.

Enterprise webapps

Enterprise Feature

Please note that this feature is only included in the enterprise edition of CIB seven, it is not available in the community edition.

To use the enterprise webclient, include enterprise version of the starter, with -ee suffix:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.cibseven.bpm.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>cibseven-bpm-spring-boot-starter-webapp</artifactId>
  <version>${project-version}-ee</version>
</dependency>

If you are using the enterprise edition, you can also use the cibseven.webclient.license.file.path property to provide a license file that is inserted on application start. Or copy your license file under the name cibseven-license.txt to your ${user.home}/.cibseven/ directory. See the dedicated License docs section for more details on how to add a License key to your CIB seven installation.

Configurations

You can change the application path for CIB seven webclient with the following configuration property in your application.yaml file:

camunda.bpm.webapp.application-path=/my/application/path

The application path for the previous Camunda web applications is configured with this property:

camunda.bpm.webapp.legacy-application-path=/my/legacy-application/path

By default, the starter registers a controller to redirect / to CIB seven’s bundled index.html. To disable this, you have to add to your application properties:

camunda.bpm.webapp.index-redirect-enabled=false

For more information about the configuration options for CIB seven webclient, please see here: CIB seven webclient properties

Error Pages

The default error handling coming with the Spring Boot (‘whitelabel’ error page) is enabled in the starter. To switch to the Camunda error pages (webjar/META-INF/resources/webjars/camunda/error-XYZ-page.html), please put them to the application folder structure under /src/main/resources/public/error/XYZ.html.

Building Custom REST APIs

The Camunda Web Applications use a CSRF Prevention Filter that expects a CSRF Token on any modifying request for paths beginning with /camunda/api/ or /camunda/app/. Any modifying requests mapped to these paths will fail, and the current session will be ended if no CSRF Token is present. You can avoid this by registering your resources on different paths or add your resources to the CSRF Prevention Filter Whitelist (via the configuration property camunda.bpm.webapp.csrf.entry-points).
