Hi everyone,I'm using activiti with spring and I have a dought about which is the best strategy for deployment process definitions.Currently I'm using automatic deployment like:@Configurationpublic class ActivitiConfiguration { @Bean public SpringProcessEngineConfiguration processEngineConfigu

"even if any changes in XPTOProcess.bpmn20.xml"
the correct would be
"even if it doesn't have any changes in XPTOProcess.bpmn20.xml"

When I was investiganting the activiti tables, I realized that the ACT_RE_PROCDEF has the following field: RESOURCE_NAME_. The content of this field is the absolute path of the xml definition process.
Every time the absolute path changes, the new version process is created. Is there any relationship between de RESOURCE_NAME_ and the logic of control when the activiti engine will create or not a new version process in the database?

Normally, the check for new deployments is done on the actual content of the process definiiton.

Im not following the 'RESOURCE_NAME_' thing. Do you have an example of what values are put in there and how they change between reboots?

Today i deployed the app 3 times in jboss, the result of ACT_RE_DEPLOYMENT table is:

The xml file is 'UTF-8' and the database NLS_CHARSET is 'WE8ISO8859P1'. Could it be a problem?

I think the logic also checks if the file path is still the same. If the file path changed, like in your case, it will do a new deployment. Maybe we should reconsider this logic and only deploy a new version when the content has changed independent of the file path. If you agree, then please create a JIRA issue.

Best regards,

Yes, i agrree and i will create a JIRA issue, highlighting this post.
So, I ask again, what is the best way to control the deployment of definitions process in production mode? The another post Joram said the activiti explorer isn't a product for production, only for tests (for this I decided to use the automatic deploy as a solution).

Tijs,
where is the Activiti JIRA? The community page ( http://activiti.org/community.html ) is redirecting to codehaus but the codehaus services have been terminated ( https://www.codehaus.org/termination/ ).

Re: Deployment Strategy

jbarrez — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 07:04:59 GMT

The jira has moved to https://activiti.atlassian.net/secure/Dashboard.jspa

Joram, what is the best issue type for this report? Bug or Improvement?

Re: Deployment Strategy
