How are you adding process definitions? With Spring? CDI? Something else? Or manually - but with duplicate filtering enabled?

Hi,

I am adding the process definitions with Spring:

<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration">
    <property name="deploymentResources" value="classpath*:bpmn/*.bpmn20.xml" />
    <property name="databaseType" value="oracle" />
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="transactionManager" ref="transactionManager" />
<property name="databaseSchemaUpdate" value="true" />
    <property name="jpaEntityManagerFactory" ref="emf" />
    <property name="jpaHandleTransaction" value="true" />
    <property name="jpaCloseEntityManager" value="true" />
    <property name="jobExecutorActivate" value="true" />
</bean>

Take a look at the AutoDeploymentStrategy (see user guide) - if you use the default setting any change in any of the resources trigger a new redeploy of ALL definitions. If one definition is added/changed/removed/renamed, for example, all others are deployed as well.
