[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBPM-1182) Implement query to retrieve process instances based on a key without knowing the processdefinition version

Implement query to retrieve process instances based on a key without knowing the processdefinition version ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPM-1182 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1182 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 3.2.2 Reporter: Ronald van Kuijk Once a new version of a processdefinition is deployed, we cannot retrieve the processinstance anymore based on the process name without knowing the version. I do not want to store the version or the id of the processdefinition in my business object model. The hibernate query requires a processdefinition. This issue is related to the @ResumeProcess in seam which explicitly tries to find the latest definition if just a key is provided. This will fail if a newer version is deployed. If there is an index and a unique constraint on the businesskey, this is not a problem at all. (ignoring the issues like "I want the licenseplate number to be the business key for damages and it can occur more than once")
