This one works well for me @Intercept(NEVER) | @Name("org.jboss.seam.core.jbpm.init") | @Startup(depends={"org.jboss.seam.core.jbpm"}) | @Install(dependencies="org.jboss.seam.core.jbpm") | public class JbpmInitializer extends Jbpm { | | private static final LogProvider log = Logging.getLogProvider(JbpmInitializer.class); | | public void startup() throws Exception { | super.startup(); | if(getProcessDefinitions() == null || getProcessDefinitions().length < 1 ) { | try { | getJbpmConfiguration().createJbpmContext().getContextSession(); | } catch(Exception e) { | log.error("jBPM Initialization Exception: " + e.getMessage()); | e.printStackTrace(); | } | } | } | | } With it you can either deploy your processes with Seam or with something external. It will only be used if you enable JBPM in your components.xml and if no process definitions are set it will handle your schema creation/update.
