Your process needs to be deployed to the embedded workflow engine within Alfresco. In this case, it is a jBPM process. You should read this tutorial, which discussed how jBPM works and to create and deploy your own custom workflows.

from the book page 25 :

Step 1: Implement the basic flow and workflow user interface
Layout the process
I'm going to follow the “extension” convention and place my workflow in a file called
processdefinition.xml in a folder called “alfresco/extension/workflows/publishwhitepaper”

I don't have this directory on my alfresco I have search for it and I didn't found it. on the extension I just have these folders (audio,bootstrap,mt) I'm using alfresco 4.0d community edition on ubuntu 10.04. how can I solve this problem?

himfire,

The files that get created during the tutorial are being placed in an Eclipse project. The project has its own folder structure. An Ant build is then used to package up and deploy the extensions into the expanded Alfresco webapp.

Out-of-the-box, your exploded Alfresco webapp (if you ran the binary installer, the webapp lives in /opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapp/alfresco) will not contain the extension folder. It will get created when you run "ant deploy".

Good,

I hope that can help you, Alfresco Workflow Definition have multiple ways of deployment one of them is by using the ant.
But i don't think that you are need it to make a deployment rather than you can use the Workflow Console to deploy the Workflow definition.
If you are going to deploy yours by using the Workflow Console, this link will guide you http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Workflow_Console.

Thanks.

Just type "workflow" in the right corner of your alfresco web UI (I mean alfresco, not share) and click on the magnifier) You'll see the folder called "Workflow definitions". This is the place
