Deploy workflow only when it doesn't exist

[stefan1509]

Is there a way to deploy a workflow (programmatically) only when the latest definition is different or doesn't exist yet?

So something like:

if (!newProcessDefinition.equals(latestDeployedDefinition)){
 s_logger.info("Deploy Process Definition");
 context.deployProcessDefinition(newProcessDefinition);
}

yes, by checking yourself. jBPM has no option (in 3.x) for this. In 4 this will change.
