Deploy the same process twice without changes

[rohail]

Hello, the activiti user guide states the following:

Suppose we now deploy an updated version of the same process (e.g. changing some user tasks), but the id of the process definition remains the same. The process definition table will now contain the following entries:

Now, what if I deploy the same process twice, without making any changes to the model. The XML is identical. Will activiti increment the version and create a new deployed version in the database or will it ignore the call to deployment and retain the current version since nothing has changed?

Yes, every time you call the deploy action, a new deployment is made and stored in the database.
If you don't want that, you'll have to add some 'duplicate checking' yourself before handing it over to be deployed.
