I'll take a shot at this.

1. Start your Jboss server to run under jbpm
#/jboss-4.0.3/bin/run.sh -c jbpm

2. In eclipse, highlight your par directory, right click to bring up the context menu, highlight (activate) the "Deploy Process Archive" option.

1. The JBoss server included in directory jbpm-server of the starters kit already contains the jBPM service. You might want to delete the unnecesary files.

2. The GPD deploys the process definition through the deploy servlet in the jBPM service. This service stores data in a Hypersonic in-process database.

The steps to follow are:
1) create a process definition in the GPD
2) start the JBoss jBPM server
3) deploy the process from Eclipse; you should see messages like these in the server console:

16:29:16,093 DEBUG [LogFilter] request http://localhost:8080/jbpm/deploy
16:29:16,093 DEBUG [LogFilter] request parameter [archive]=file://C:\DOCUME~1\aguizar\LOCALS~1\Temp\loan-approval.par31049.tmp
16:29:16,109 DEBUG [PersistenceContext] beginning transaction
16:29:16,125 DEBUG [DeployServlet] deploying archive file://C:\DOCUME~1\aguizar\LOCALS~1\Temp\loan-approval.par31049.tmp

16:29:16,171 DEBUG [FileDefinition] preparing file 'gpd.xml' for storage in the database
16:29:16,171 DEBUG [ProcessArchiveDeployer] starting transaction to deploy process ProcessDefinition(loan-approval)
16:29:16,234 DEBUG [ProcessArchiveDeployer] flushing...
16:29:16,265 DEBUG [ProcessArchiveDeployer] committing transaction to deploy process ProcessDefinition(loan-approval)

4) point your browser to http://localhost:8080/jbpm/; the jBPM web app login page should appear
5) log in using any identity; your process should appear in the table under Start New Process Execution

Hope this helps. I did this using GPD 3.0.3 and the Starters kit 3.1 alpha 1.

Thank Alex it`s really help but one issue

I did deploy process through eclipse (before server is start)
and i check in browser http://localhost:8080/jbpm and able to see my process name in Start New Process Execution but there is no value in Start Process Link

This is my simple code

Processdefinition.xml
*********************

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition
xmlns="http://jbpm.org/3/jpdl" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://jbpm.org/3/jpdl http://jbpm.org/xsd/jpdl-3.0.xsd"
name="hello5">
<start-state name="start">


Going to the first state!


</start-state>
<end-state name="end"></end-state>



About to finish!



</process-definition>


This is my HelloActionHandler.java
******************************

package com.jbay.action;

import org.jbpm.graph.def.ActionHandler;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;

public class HelloActionHandler implements ActionHandler {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

/**
* The message member gets its value from the configuration in the
* processdefinition. The value is injected directly by the engine.
*/
String message;

/**
* A message process variable is assigned the value of the message
* member. The process variable is created if it doesn't exist yet.
*/
public void execute(ExecutionContext context) throws Exception {
context.getContextInstance().setVariable("message", message);
}
}


This is log in server

11:31:44,390 DEBUG [CommandExecutor] waiting for more messages
11:31:44,390 DEBUG [StaticNotifier] going to wait for (EXECUTE, java.lang.Object@4ba4d6)

Please tell me is any small code wrong. I need to create new process link for the above code in server but it`s not coming

Thanks & regards
