How do I deploy BPMN process to process engine with Camunda Spring Boot

I have built a Camunda BPM with Spring Boot as a Standalone Process Engine, it will be waiting some requests for starting process from other web applications

now, my co-works have design a few processes in BPMN Tools, I think I should use the REST API deploy these BPMN to Standalone Process Engine, how can I do? or other solution which allows uploading BPMN files to Standalone Process Engine?

Is there any example?

We want to use Camunda BPM in our Application, so we have to solve some problems

Thank you

When you are using Spring Boot as an application container, do you really need to deploy processes at runtime? It seems to me that the common scenario in this case would be "bundle the processes and the application and deploy on startup". If you need to change or add processes, just stop, repackage and start your Camunda Spring Boot application. To do this, the SpringProcessEngineConfiguration allows setting deploymentResources.

If you really need to change processes at runtime, make sure you add the REST API to your Spring Boot bundle and follow https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.3/api-references/rest/#deployment-post-deployment.

We also have created a Camunda community extension that makes dealing with Camunda and Spring Boot a lot simpler: https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter
