To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/743290#743290 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I had the same problem. I realize that the jbpm5 does not have that mechanism (at least I didn't find it) and I don't want to use guvnor. I ended the problem by creating a table in my db where I save the process definitions. Just a simple table where I save the process definitions as a byte array. I'm still in dev, and so far it works well... -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/743290#743290] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/743409#743409 -------------------------------------------------------------- Although we're technically not storing it on a database per se, what we do right now is store the process definition in a document management system ( Alfresco in our case). The DMS allows us the capability of versioning of the bpmn files. When a process is instantiated, we call a service that pulls the definition with a particular version. The DMS also allows users who edit these definitions a facility for collaboration. IF had to store it in a DB, I would probably store it in BLOB field with another field indicating the version of the process. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/743409#743409] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/743458#743458 -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your answers. In my case there is no need to collaboration on process definitions and so. If there is the case of a process definition change during the execution of a process instance, this process instance will not be affected right? The process instance will go on according to the process definition state when it started?

I don't need collaboration in processes definitons and I edit the process definitions in eclipse. I've searched in the jbpm database and I don't see anything related to the version of the process definition... I thought that the porcessInstanceByteArray contained the information that the instance needs to complete, even when the process definition changes. No?
