Hi nabil malloul!

Alfresco Share can deploy workflows: you can read clearly about this in this article: Dynamic Models

I think, you will solve your problem if you'll write a script which:

will save xml diagram which your module has generated into Company Home -> Data Dictionary -> Models;
will set 'Model Active' property = true.

I hope it will help!

Thank you for your reply.

It's exactly what i done. For the content model, i created webscript that copy the xml file in models and set its 'Model Active' property to true.

For the workflow hot deploying i used the Alfresco java api classes to hot deploy the workflow definition xml file.

Your solution resolve the issue i posted
