Hi Alan, Yes that's what I wanted to confirm. And big +1 for directly using Apache HttpClient without over engineering. So I will take it as a +1 to starting docker through REST from activity plugin.
I will assume I will get all required parameters to invoke the REST API(what get finalized in the JSON format mail thread) from the configuration bean an start writing an activity plugin. Please let me know if there is any other concerns.
