Compare that with the definition you have. Something like this.... (partly correct, partly pseudocode, partly... )       List<ProcessDefinition> processDefinitions = repositoryService.createProcessDefinitionQuery()       .processDefinitionKey("nuclear_fusion")       .orderDesc(ProcessDefinitionQuery.PROPERTY_VERSION)       .list();      NewDeployment newDeployment= repositoryService.createDeployment.addResourceFromString("xmlstring.jpdl.xml", jpdlXmlString)      if (processDefinitions.get(0).getVersion()) < newDeployment.getProcessDefinitionVersion("nuclear_fusion") {       newDeployment.deploy()    } else {        //latest version is active    } -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/521943#521943
