Hello,

I am really new to jBPM 5.2 since this week  (!) . Till now I installed the demo, played a little with it and the console, and went through the documentation.
But some things are really not clear for me. I went through the forum without beeing able to find a clear answer to my questions.

1. In the documentation "Chapter 1 overview", it is written that "it can run in any Java environment, embedded in your application or as a service". So I clearly undestand that I can develop my Java application and use the KnowledgeBase, KnowledgeBuilder... to add some processes (*.bpmn files), start processes and so one. But I don't understand what it means to run jBPM as a service and it doesn't seem to be explained in the documentation. Can someone explain that please?
2. On the forum, I found also a lot of people saying that they are running jBPM in jBoss. What does it mean too? Is there a way to put jBPM in jBoss and to access it from several others separated applications?
3. For my developments, I imagine an architecture with jBPM running in standalone mode in a simple Java application, jBPM beeing in a persistent mode. Also the human task service would be running in a single place. Then I would have different applications which could connect to the single jBPM to start processes and so one. But I can't find some explanations about how to put in place such an architecture. I can only find some people saying to use the REST interface of the console. But in my application there will be no console deployed. So... can anyone can help on this?

Thank you all in advance.

Jena
