I've gone through most of the examples, which address primarily the manual loading of a process definition and invocation (signaling) of processes. I also have successfully executed tests for using an Oracle db for the jBPM schema. What I would like to do now is actually invoke a business process within the context of a JBoss environment (servlet or EJB). The thing I'm not really getting from the documentation or the examples is how to interact with the jBPM central "engine", or even if there is one. Some specific questions I have regarding this are:
1) How should business process definitions be loaded each time JBoss is started? I do not want to do a manual upload or deployment each time JBoss is started. I also do not want to have to load a business process definition each time it is needed, but once per runtime, and then cache it. Is there a component of jBPM which already does this (i.e. an engine), or is this something that has to be done manually? 2) How do I invoke a business process? The examples pretty much show how to do this manually, signaling business processes through each stage of their execution. Is there a component of jBPM which manages this (i.e. an engine), and how can I interact with it? How can I tell it to load and execute business process X? 3) If there is an engine managing the business process execution, what is the extent of what it does? Does it automatically persist all executions to the database, or is this something that has to be done manually? 4) If there is an engine managing the business process execution, what class / deployment component (sar maybe?) is this deployment contained in? Thanks for your help. I think I have a pretty good understanding of the components of jBPM, but I'm not seeing at the moment where it all comes together in a JBoss environment.
