How to deploy a .par file?

derjohannes Jun 22, 2006 10:01 AM

I have been searching for a long time to find out how to deploy in java a .par archive including not only the process definition, but also the process image, the image meta file and the necessary java classes.

But all I could find was outdated code like in the DeploymentServiceBean.java
(see http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JbpmDeploymentService) or code that doesn't seem to expect a .par file, like the one in
\jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.1\jbpm\src\java.jbpm\org\jbpm\ant\DeployProcessTask.java

Unfortunately, the starter kit does not contain a generic deployment routine yet.

Who can bring light into the dark?

Thank you!

the GPD contains a perfectly suitable way to deploy processes and everything with it

It is actually in the jBPM webapp that this deployment happens. The GPD merely uploads a segmented stream (the *.par archive) to the server. The webapp uses the deployment servlet to do the actual deployment.

There are numerous sources,readily available, instructing how to deploy.

I posted to a recent thread at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=85365 about how to programatically deploy a .par file. This example is in some of the test cases provided by the jBPM source. The sample webapp also has a servlet which will accept a .par file upload and will deploy that file.

The Starters guide in the wiki (http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JbpmGettingStarted) has a section, "Deploy your process to JBoss jBPM".

And, it's also in the User Guide (http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/userguide/jpdl.html#theprocessarchive). True, the user guide is a bit 'stale', but it still lists the 3 possible ways of doing it.
