where does activity v5.19 store bpmn20.xml Model files?I run locally w/ mysql. I am creating a new model, and it persists it thru tomcat re-boots.But for the life of me, I cannot find the xml representation of what I've created, either in mysql, or the file system.And yet, the graphical data persist

The xml is stored in the ACT_RE_BYTEARRAY table as binary

actually, it's in a table called ACT_GE_BYTEARRAY table and stored as binary
But it is not the bpmn20.xml encoding.
It is stored as json not xml.
And it would be a significant undertaking to 'map' that json to a .bpmn20.xml file.

So, I guess one cannot export to a *.bpmn20.xml file a process created in Activiti.
That correct?

Thanks

Hi,

The BPMN models of the BPMN editor are stored as JSON indeed. You can use the BpmnJsonConverter and BpmnXMLConverter to convert this JSON to a BPMN XML. We do it in the same way in the Activiti Explorer when deploying a model.

Best regards,
