Deploying Activiti Workflows

[mtw999]

Hello,

I was working through the Advanced Workflow examples in the ecmarchitect.com article. The article is based on Activiti 5.7 and I have 5.11. As a result, files produced with Activiti Diagrammer differ.

So, with Activiti Plug-in I have the ability to create a deployment of my workflow which generates a bar file that contains the bpmn20.xml file.

I realize I can use the Activiti Workflow Console to deploy that bar file or I can unzip the bar file and use the bpmn20.xml in bean config for workflow deployment (or I can just copy the .bpmn file from diagrammer to bpmn20.xml)

I was just curious though, can I also deploy the bar file from the bean config? If so, what is the mimetype the bar file?

I'm having simliar issues. How did you deploy the bar file using the Activiti Workflow Console?

EDIT: Solved.

Hi,

It has been some time since I worked on this, but these are notes I have. Sorry if this is not helpful.

You need either a bar file or a bpmn20.xml to deploy and creating and saving  process digram with Activiti will not generate one.

You can generate a bar that contains the the bpmn20.xml by:
1) Creating Activiti project
2) From Package Explorer View, "Create deployment artifacts"

Hope it helps. If it does, please let me know.
