Also it      * instantiate ExecutionService and RepositoryService.      *      * @throws WorkFlowException      *             if processEngine were not set.      * @throws WorkFlowRuntimeException      *             if process definition files do not exists.      */     public void init() throws WorkFlowException, WorkFlowRuntimeException {         if (null == processEngine) {             throw new IllegalStateException("JBPM ProcessEngine not set");         }         // Instantiate ExecutionService object using processEngine.         executionService = processEngine.getExecutionService();         if (null == executionService) {             throw new IllegalStateException("JBPM ExecutionService not set");         }         System.out.println("executionService::" + executionService);         // Instantiate RepositoryService object using processEngine.         repositoryService = processEngine.getRepositoryService();         if (null == repositoryService) {             throw new IllegalStateException("JBPM RepositoryService not set");         }         System.out.println("repositoryService::" + repositoryService);         // Instantiate TaskService object using processEngine.         taskService = processEngine.getTaskService();         if (null == taskService) {             throw new IllegalStateException("JBPM HistoryService not set");         }         System.out.println("repositoryService::" + repositoryService);         if (null == iWorkFlowDao) {             throw new IllegalStateException("WorkFlowDao object not set");         }         if (null == iCaseDao) {             throw new IllegalStateException("ManageCaseDao object not set");         }         if (null == iAssistRegionDao) {             throw new IllegalStateException("iAssistRegionDao object not set");         }         this.deploy();     } private void deploy() throws WorkFlowException, WorkFlowRuntimeException {         try {             // Deploying the WorkFlow process definition.             String ddrDeploymentId = repositoryService.createDeployment()                     .addResourceFromClasspath("request.jpdl.xml").deploy();             // Checking the deployment is success.             if (null == ddrDeploymentId || ddrDeploymentId.equals("")) {                 throw new WorkFlowException(                         "The Work flow deployment is failed");             }         } Description: This WorkFlow.java class is a spring bean class. So whenever the appliaction startup its init() method will get called and in that we are a reference to the method deploy() and in that method we are handling the             repositoryService.createDeployment()                     .addResourceFromClasspath("ddr_request.jpdl.xml").deploy() And my doubt is if didn't deploy this how will our workflow work? So can yoiu please tell me what I can do instead? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/569069#569069] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
