7.7. Creating a Process Definition
- Use a Creation wizard to create an empty process definition. Select → → . The wizard opens on the Select Wizard page.
- Select the JBoss jBPM category, then the jBPM Process Definition item. Clicking on the button brings us to the Create Process Definition page.
- Type in a name for the process archive file. Click on the button to end the wizard and open the process definition editor.
- By viewing the Package Explorer, you can see that creating a process definition involves creating an XML file called
[process name].jpdl.xml, which contains the process definition information. A JPG file called[process name].jpgwill also be automatically generated when changes are saved to the process.
