How bar file deployment works?

[kethur]

Hi Team,

I want to know if i must keep the bar file in that location after deployment.  Can i delete the bar file and move it so some kind of history folder? 

Could you please explain what really happens during the deployment.  I have seen a section in user guide and I still want to know if Activity stores the deployment bar file in the database table somewhere so, i can delete the bar file after deployment?

Thanks,
Raj

Give it a try. Upload a bar file and then delete it.
I think it must be no problem because you can also upload deployments via rest client. Activiti shouldn't be dependent on physical location of deployment artifacts. As I know Activiti serializes and keeps them in DB.

Deployed definitions stored in database:
* ACT_RE_DEPLOYMENT stores ID and NAME of the file;
* ACT_GE_BYTEARRAY strores in BLOBs all XMLs and PNGs of this deployment;
* ACT_RE_PROCDEF stores versions of definitions.
Yes, Activiti keeps them in DB.
