anonymous wrote : A RAR would be limited and you would still need to deploy 2 separate files, a pd-ds.xml file, to define the process instance, and the .par file (or .jpdl file). Where in a JBoss deployer, its just one file and less metadata to write. Not completely. It is not really a pd-ds.xml but a jbpm-ds.xml. Multiple processdefinitions can share the same jbpm database. In fact, if you have a separate ds for each process you also have to deploy the console app multiple times to connect to the different ds's.
