Deploy new process definitions by the client

[dingo001]

We have JBPM running and there is a situation where the client would like to deploy the process definitions that he has created. JBPM is running on tomcat within our application.

how would i go about accepting this process definition?

be creative... there is an api to deploy processes so you can do whatever you want. e.g. build a custom webpage or whatever...

Using jbpmContext.deployProcessDefinition(definition); I can deploy the definition. What about the custom actions, assignments and tasks that might come with the process definition?

look at the zipdeployer in the source... it parses an xml file, creates objects and deploys them

... oh... btw..... this deployer can be used by you as well..

having something like this would be great.. where can i find it. i searched the source.. no such animal.

it is not called zipdeployer, it is the 'generic' deployer that e.g. the servlet in the webapp uses.

it is a static method on the ProcessDefinition...... surprising isn't it... I think you should search a little more clever in the future (no offence)
