Notable changes

BDM REST API response format standardization

Starting from this version, the response format for BDM queries via REST API has been standardized to follow REST conventions:

  • Scalar queries (COUNT, AVG, MAX, MIN, SUM): Now return {"value": n} instead of [n]

  • Single entity queries: Now return the object directly {…​} instead of wrapping it in an array [{…​}]

  • List queries: Unchanged, still return arrays [{…​}, {…​}]

This change affects REST API consumers (JavaScript clients, UI Designer pages, external applications). Server-side Groovy code using DAO methods is not affected.

To maintain backward compatibility, you can disable the new format by setting:

bonita.runtime.business-data.serialization.standard-shape.enabled=false

If you are updating from a previous version of Bonita, backward compatibility is maintained for you by disabling automatically this new property. You are free to activate it when you code is compatible by modifying file bonita-tenant-community-custom.properties

See BDM Query Response Formats for detailed migration guidance.
