[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - Combining jBPM and BPEL

We are intending to use BPM on top of a (partly existing) SOA Architecture.
The BPEL standard has no provisioning for Workflow. A lot of BPEL products extend the standard to incorporate this.
I think jBPM is a far better solution for this. But for service orchestration BPEL is a good option (although i am not a fan myself of XML scripting languages).
JBoss BPEL internally makes use of the same process database (so i have understood).
So an excellent combination would be to have jBPM manage the overall business process including the worklow tasks. But it would be nice to have a bpel engine do the webservice orchestration stuff. This BPEL process should be modelled as a sub process (a process state on the highest level).
It would be deployed in the same jBPM process db and offer good opportunities for Business Activity Monitoring.
Is such a scenario possible with JBoss BPEL and jBPM?
