jBPM

JBoss jBPM stores process definitions in a database. Therefore, deploying a process into JBoss jBPM involves parsing the process-definition.xml and storing it in the JBoss jBPM database. This can be done by:

• Using the par Ant task supplied with JBoss jBPM to create a process archive.
• Using the deploypar utility. This utility also creates a process archive and deploys the process archive to the jBPM database. The deploypar utility takes a jBPM.properties file as an attribute. This file specifies configuration options, including the database to which the process archive is to be deployed.
• Programmatically parsing and storing the process-definition.xml into a datastore.
