how check if process definition deployed?

[simonbaker]

How can one check if a particular process definition has been deployed?

The purpose is for startup code that checks if if a process definition is deployed, if not, deploys it.

Simon,

If it's in the API, I don't see it anywhere I'd expect.

Here's some idea of how to check this... look in jpdl\jar\src\main\java\org\jbpm\db\hibernate.queries.hbm.xml.

Find the query/queries that do what you want, then search for where they're used to see if they're exposed in an API.

Please share what you find.

Hey thanks, I was looking for those queries...

(still looking for the washroom...)

I thought maybe I could trap an error on some call in desperation, but haven't found a safe one to call. I'll keep checking.

Maybe this is most direct way to do it:

jbpmContext.getGraphSession().findLatestProcessDefinition(String name)

although it looks like you have to trap an error if it doesn't find it.
