How to use Java API code in Camunda Platform in order to describe BPMN process and then deploy the war in Tomcat

Question

I am using for the first time the Camunda Platform. Here is what I would like to do:

• write a BPMN model (with Camunda Modeler using the eclipse plugin)
• then write some java code that will explain and describe the service tasks, the user tasks, and so on, of the process
• and then deploy it as war file inside Tomcat
• then use REST webservice to communicate with it and get information about process, tasks, user etc..

My problem here is that I don't understand how to write Java code using the Camunda classes. I have read the documentation abount JavaDelegation, Process Application, and I did the easy tutorial but I am confused. I don't know where to start to develop. Sorry if I make silly questions.Thanks

Did you check the 'simple process'-tutorial at http://docs.camunda.org/latest/guides/getting-started-guides/developing-process-applications/ ?
