[jboss-user] [jBPM] - JBPM exception : no process definition with key

I am trying to build a spring web application with jBpm 4.4 and I have defined my process defintion jpdl files. The problem is : I have made a Spring bean in the application Context as : <bean id="jbpmRepositoryUtil" class="com.canon.common.util.JbpmRepositoryUtil">     <constructor-arg>         <value>jpdl/LeaveApply.jpdl.xml</value>     </constructor-arg>     <constructor-arg>         <value>jpdl/LeaveDB_bal_Status.jpdl.xml</value>     </constructor-arg>     <constructor-arg>          <value>jpdl/ApproverFlow.jpdl.xml</value>     </constructor-arg>     <constructor-arg>          <ref bean ="repositoryService"/>     </constructor-arg> </bean> This bean deploys three Jpdl files at the server Startup (jboss 4.2) . Like: public JbpmRepositoryUtil (String mainJpdlPath,String subProcessPath,String approverPath ,RepositoryService repositoryService){         mainFlowId = repositoryService.createDeployment().addResourceFromClasspath(mainJpdlPath).deploy();         dbSubProcessId = repositoryService.createDeployment().addResourceFromClasspath(approverPath).deploy();         approverFlowId = repositoryService.createDeployment().addResourceFromClasspath(subProcessPath).deploy();     } I have run the server in debug mode an confirmed that the method is being hit. But when I try to start a process instance in my service class like : ProcessInstance processInstance = executionService.startProcessInstanceByKey("LeaveApply",variables); I get the following error : org.jbpm.api.JbpmException: no process definition with key 'LeaveApply'     at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cmd.StartProcessInstanceInLatestCmd.execute(StartProcessInstanceInLatestCmd.java:58)     at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cmd.StartProcessInstanceInLatestCmd.execute(StartProcessInstanceInLatestCmd.java:36)     at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.svc.DefaultCommandService.execute(DefaultCommandService.java:42)     at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.tx.SpringCommandCallback.doInTransaction(SpringCommandCallback.java:45) ..... Naming isnt an issue because if i copy the createDeployment method to the service class just before trying to create a PI it works just fine ..  but according to my understanding I should be deploying the jpdl just once and create ProcessInstance as and when needed. So copying to the service class is a bad idea !
