Using the upload process function of the jbpm-console web app, deploy two processes with a parent-child relationship through a process-state node:

1. childprocess.par

  <process-definition name="child">
    [...]
  </process-definition>

2. parentprocess.par

  <process-definition name="parent">
    [...]
    <process-state name="process-state1">
        <sub-process name="child" />
        <transition to="end"></transition>
    </process-state>
    [...]
  </process-definition>

After the two processes are deployed, the relation from the parent-process to the child-process is not properly set in the database:

mysql> select ID_, NAME_, SUBPROCNAME_, SUBPROCESSDEFINITION_ from JBPM_NODE where CLASS_ = 'C';
+-----+----------------+--------------+-----------------------+
| ID_ | NAME_          | SUBPROCNAME_ | SUBPROCESSDEFINITION_ |
+-----+----------------+--------------+-----------------------+
|  78 | process-state1 | NULL         |                  NULL | 
+-----+----------------+--------------+-----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

This is due to the fact that the jbpm4jsf part initializes the JbpmContext *after* the processdefinition.xml file is parsed, therefore the call to DbSubProcessResolver.findSubProcess returns null.
