Thanks for the quick reply. You are describing the deployment of a process definition. What I was looking for is how to retrieve the xml of an already deployed process definition (from the database). I haven't used the default web app for some time - however I doubt they show you the plain xml there. Why I want to deliver this functionality: Normally, you are making some minor changes to your process, e.g. changing timer setting or expressions. These changes are not shown in a process image. In order to document the progress of your process definition I thought it might be a good idea to show the xml file to the user, which contains all necessary definition information.
