cpob, Thanks for the reply, it was very helpful. So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that I either have to load my business process programmatically in my code, or I have to manually deploy it to a running JBoss server. Two questions: 1. Is there a way to deploy a process archive (PAR) into the JBoss server deploy directory in the same manner as a JAR, WAR, or SAR, and if so, what is the impact on versioning? 2. One of the configuration files in the starter's kit, specifically jbpm/src/resources/jbpm.sar/jbpm.properties, has a commented out section for the property jbpm.files.dir, which has the comment above it that says: "uncomment the next line to use the file systemm instead of the database for storing files related to a process definition." How does this come into play? I understand that this means processes will be stored on the file system, but does this mean that they are *loaded* from the filesystem as well, and should be deployed to that directory, or does this means that an upload to the server or programmatic loading of the process definition still must be done, and the engine will write to that directory instead of the database. Additionally, do you lose versioning if you store on the filesystem vs. the database? Thanks for your help.
