Workflow not getting deployed

[oshadha]

Hi all,

I'm trying to deploy a workflow as mentioned in the book "Alfresco Cookbook" from PacktPub. But unfortunatly it's not getting deployed. And there's are no errors/exceptions in the logs, everything runs smoothly when restarting the server.

files
pm_processdefinition.xml
pm_taskModel.xml
pm-workflow-messages.properties
workflow-context.xml

tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension

Finally edited the "web-client-config-custom.xml" to configure workflow task dialogs.

Thanks.

My fault…
It was necessary to set also the property:

system.workflow.engine.jbpm.definitions.visible=true

I'm attempting to deploy a custom workflow to alfresco 4.2.c.  I have the following files stored in /alfresco 4.2.c/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/workflow/contractor_process/: contractor_processmodel.xml, contractor_processdefinition.xml.  In general terms, I need to deploy a workflow that allows a user to begin a workflow and assign three users and a document to the workflow.  The three chosen users need to sequentially edit the document then pass it down the line.  I'm basically brand-new to alfresco and I'm not what you'd call a developer–I'm a discrete math person.  I'm almost positive my issues with deploying the workflow stem from incorrectly placing the "spring workflow deployer bean", and I've found exactly zero information anywhere on the forums or tutorials about where to place this snippet of code.  Based on all the examples of this bean that i've found, I'm positive I've correctly constructed the code for it, but I have absolutely no idea WHERE or under what folder I need to save this piece of code to manually deploy my workflow.

I have been working on Alfresco 4.2

I have same problem for cookbook  workflow example.

system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled=true
system.workflow.engine.jbpm.definitions.visible=true

Above two propertiez in alfresco-global.properties solve my problem.

Thanks marco and Jeff.
