Carlos, As a workaround You may try setting the deployment descriptor again on the integration control after checking if it has a deployment descriptor. Like this may be | IntegrationControl integControl = factory | .getIntegrationControl(bpelProcDef); | | // Create DeploymentDescriptor instance | DeploymentDescriptor deployDesc = new DeploymentDescriptor(); | | // Create InputSource | InputSource is = new InputSource(deploymentDescriptorContent input stream | ); | // Read the deployment descriptor into the deployDesc object | | DeploymentDescriptorReader reader = new DeploymentDescriptorReader(); | reader.read(deployDesc, is); | | integControl.setDeploymentDescriptor(deployDesc); Hope this helps. I faced this issue (integration control not holding deploy descriptor) in a different way, a code like this help it fix.
