Ah, that’s interesting. I had a look at the API but I didn’t find any easy way to send a flowFile and kick off processing…
I did find this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43228475/how-to-transfer-flowfiles-in-nifi-using-nifi-api Is that what you ended up implementing? Basically, I have two use cases: in one case, I’m uploading a file that NiFi will transform and store in a DB; in the other case, I’m requesting a file (whose data mostly comes from the DB). Do you know if this can be done with the API? From: Martijn Dekkers <[email protected]> Sent: mercredi 27 juin 2018 17:23 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: NiFi as RESTful server? Hey Kelsey, we were looking at doing something similar, and like Shawn mentioned, we also implemented RouteonAttribute. We quickly hit some limitations specific to our needs, and decided to just manipulate the flow via the API.

The flow behind each of these involves a half-dozen steps and is different in each case. I wanted to set it up so that each flow started with a HandleHTTPRequest processor bound to the appropriate URL path. However, it turns out that two such processors cannot cohabitate because each one tries to start its own server bound to the given port. I’m wondering: * Is there a better way of doing this, without having to have a single HandleHTTPRequest and making my flows more complicated with all the required connections to link it to my current entry points? * Would it be technically possible to have some sort of “HTTPService” controller that just starts the server and binds to the port, and then multiple “HTTPServiceListener” processors that use it? Or is it not possible for a Controller Service to “wake up” a Processor/initiate a flow?
