Hello,
In order to add your own REST API all you have to do, more or less, is to add 
classes with jax-rs annotations specifying the urls of your services (take a 
look at the existing ProcessMgmtFacade as well as the modifications doneĀ  by 
priyakpandey to get the idea), in addition take a look in web.xml entries 
related to jax-rs and resteasy you might need to add something related to your 
additional url paths. Maybe also add your classes in 
jax-rs Application class org.jboss.bpm.console.server.ConsoleServerApplication 
as singleton (check the code of ConsoleServerApplication regarding the other 
jax-rs classes).

Since you use the gwt-console-server API you'll need the objects created inside 
ProcessMgmtFacade so if you want to change existing functionality the simplest 
approach is to modify that (by adding new methods or changing existing ones as 
described in  http://community.jboss.org/message/612597#612597 
http://community.jboss.org/message/612597). 

If you want to use your own class to override functionality you could extend 
ProcessMgmtFacade with your own class and add all your new logic there. However 
in order to overide the urls you would have to define the same jax-rs paths in 
your file and maybe remove the same ones from ProcessMgmtFacade and probably 
have to modify the jax-rs Application class 
org.jboss.bpm.console.server.ConsoleServerApplication to add your class as 
singleton....haven't tried it to be honest and it gets a little messy. 

The fact is that on each update of jbpm, since you use the gwt-console-server, 
whether you make the changes in the existing code or on your own file, you will 
either have to make those changes or add your file each time. Not a good 
practice for large scale changes etc indeed butĀ  unfortunately no other 
extension points, to the existing REST API system i think.
