If you need to deploy a process by code, you can use something like this: byte[] parBytes = readFully("yourfile.par"); JbpmContext ctx = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance().createJbpmContext(); new DeployProcessCommand(parBytes).execute(ctx); ctx.close(); If you want to deploy a simple xml process definition, you can replace parBytes with a String containing your XML. Hope this helps. Massimiliano. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4186644#...
