deployment in starter kit

[asique]

I m new in jboss jBPM.i have downloaded the jBPM starter kit 3.1.3 after doing all configuration i can run jboss AS and use the default websale prject
i have also developed my own process and deployed it using eclipse
as far as i know a process archive is created that is deployed on jboss AS
but i can't find any .par file in jboss-server directory
the directory structure for a deployed process definition is a black hole for me
can any body help me if i want to deploy my own web application just like websale

plz help me out

First of all why 3.1.3??? Please download 3.2.3

Regarding deployment of .par files I suggest reading the docs (including wiki) searching the forum etc... Deployment is to a database, not the deploy dir in the appserver

I could but won't. Will cost me to much free time and almost all of it can be found on the internet, that is why I referred you to docs, howto's etc. Sorry...

If you are dealing with a PAR Archive (very rendundat) you can see the process of deployment in this theorical way:

1) A servlet in the jBPM web console get the PAR octet stream and unzip it in memory.
2) this parse the xml of processdefinition.xml and create and object model in memory (I mean your process definition in the form of Object Instances)
3) this ProcessDefinition object is mapped with hibernate to your Relational Database
4) so with hibernate is persisted in your database tables
5) the classes in your PAR are loaded into the class loader, so now your process instances can access your ActionHandlers, DecisionHandlers, etc.

I hope this is clear enough....
