9.4. Using jPDL business process definitions
9.4.1. Installing process definitions
First, we must install jBPM and tell it where to find the business process definitions:
<bpm:jbpm> <bpm:process-definitions> <value>todo.jpdl.xml</value> </bpm:process-definitions> </bpm:jbpm>
Since jBPM processes persist across application restarts, when using Seam in a production environment, it is unnecessary to install the process definition each time the application starts. Therefore, the process must be deployed to jBPM outside Seam. It is only necessary to install process definitions from
components.xml
during application development.
