Thank you much, but now I have another question: the tutorial on http://ode.apache.org/bpel-management-api-specification.html says many useful things, except one - how do I obtain variables from particular process instances? I would like extract a part of the variable (declared as wsdl:message) and return it as org.w3c.dom.Document (the data itself is actually an xforms model). And the last thing I would like to know (so far ;-) is how to find out, which activity is currently being executed and to which operation this activity points. I would by very thankful for any suggestions.

Then use getInstanceManagement() and getProcessManagement() to access the management interfaces and do whatever you want with them. Cheers, Matthieu
