Deployment of jBPM process

[mee_naveen1]

I am unable to see where the process applications that are built with eclipse are deployed.I am unable to find them in the deploy folder of the server.Even though I am able to see in the process list in the jbpm-console.

Please tell where can I find them.

Thanks

They're in the database.

Thanks for your reply estaub..but where can I find them in the database?

The processdefinition and its contents is saved in various tables (eg. JBPM_PROCESSDEFINITION, JBPM_NODE, JBPM_TRANSITION,...)

The content of the processdefinition.xml file itself is stored (along with other process related information such as process image, class files etc.) in the JBPM_BYTEBLOCK table. Taking a look at the db schema, the relation from the xml data to the processdefinition can be followed by the following path:

JBPM_BYTEBLOCK JBPM_BYTEARRAY JBPM_PROCESSDEFINITION
-------------- -------------- ----------------------
PROCESSFILE_ ==> ID_
BYTES_ NAME_
INDEX_ FILEDEFINITION_ ==> ID_
(other fields...)

why do you need, or do you think you need this low level access to the processdefinition? The api makes it possible to retrieve this all.

I think Naveen was just trying to understand how it works. I remember being equally mystified at the same thing - "it works, so the actionhandler class files gotta be here somewhere, but where the heck are they!?!"

I quickly checked the user guide - I don't think it mentions that they're stored in the database.
