Make an jquery ajax call to a sling servlet which further call the workflow through API

Refer to example below.

You must also look into solution by smacdonald2008

There are only 2 methods (not counting the Deprecated one) exposed in the WorkFlowSession Class that starts a workflow:

`Workflow`	`startWorkflow(WorkflowModel model, WorkflowData data)` Start a new `Workflow` instance with the given `WorkflowModel` and `WorkflowData`.
`Workflow`	`startWorkflow(WorkflowModel model, WorkflowData data, Dictionary<String,String> metaData)` Deprecated. It's recommended to use `#startWorkflow(WorkflowModel, WorkflowData, Map instead.`
`Workflow`	`startWorkflow(WorkflowModel model, WorkflowData data, Map<String,Object> metaData)` Start a new `Workflow` instance with the given `WorkflowModel`, `WorkflowData` and `meta data`.

Therefore you need a WorkflowModel and data,

In your use case - you need these as input - else it will not work.
