Target directory of dynamically deployed workflows

[rsulliv1]

I'm trying to figure out which directory contains the process definitions when deploying with the eclipse JBPM designer plugin.

It looks like there are a few other threads asking this question in the past, but none appear to have an answer.

I initially deployed workflowA manually to the extensions directory and created a reference in the workflow-context.xml. Then I deployed subsequent versions via eclipse. The workflow console shows all of the new versions as successfully deployed and they all work correctly. They remain even after restarting the app server, so I'm pretty sure they have to be stored on the filesystem somewhere (either within Alfresco or within the webapp).

I verified that the extensions directories (in the webapp & on the app server's classpath) neither have the updated process definition. The WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/workflow directory also does not contain the newly deployed process version.

The 'Data Dictionary/Workflow Definitions' space doesn't contain the process either.

Can anyone point me to information regarding where the process definitions go when dynamically deploying? Are they buried in some filestore that can't be reached via UI but only the node browser?

Thanks for any help anyone has to offer.

I would suggest starting a new thread as you'll get more hits.

Done.

Can you help me out?

I replied in your thread.

Remember, rule of thumb in [any] tech forum is to make sure you do the basic work yourself before trying to enlist people to help you. You can let people know what you've done to prep for your own problem by detailing what your problem is, how you got into the problem, what results you were expecting, the different solutions you've attempted and all errors encountered.

I'd agree that many posts in the Alfresco forums don't appear to get replies, but that's all the more reason to fully document your issue in your post. I know that I'm more inclined to assist when I know that the user appears to be working at least as hard as I am on their issue.

Back to the original subject.     The workflows are parsed and stored in the database, that's where they live.

Excellent! Thanks.
