Workflow using old version of process definition

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I've created a simple jBPM process definition using the graphical jBPM Process Designer in Eclipse. I've successfully deployed it to the Alfresco repository using the built-in deployment tool and I've launched it using "Start Workflow".

However, when I update the process in Eclipse, save it, and re-deploy it, Alfresco doesn't seem to be picking up the change. When I launch the workflow, and then inspect it using the jBPM Monitor and the incremented instance ID, the page reports that version 1 of the definition is being used.

It does seem like it is using the old version because the process variable I added in the revised definition is not dumped.

A-ha. You have to restart tomcat to pick up the new process definition. This seems bad. There needs to be a way to pick up an updated process definition without a restart.
