<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>I started learning JBPM5 a few months ago. Based on what I know so far, what is installed on the server are the following components (quoted from the user guide)</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p><strong>Guvnor repository</strong> -  optional component that can be used to store all your business processes. It supports collaboration, versioning, etc. There is integration with both the Eclipse plugin and web-based designer, supporting round-tripping between the different tools.</p><p><strong>jBPM console</strong> -  web-based console that allows business users to manage their business processes (start new processes, inspect running instances), their task list and see reports.</p><p><strong>Web-based Designer</strong> - tool used to model the process</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>From what I've seen, these are just WAR files deployed by the installer so it should theoretically be possible to deploy to other servers.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>If by your question, you mean "can I use JBPM <strong>only</strong> with JBoss AS?", then the answer is no. The process engine itself is just like any other Java library and can be used by any JVM-based app - it does not even have to be a web-based application.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>In our implementation for instance, we don't use the Guvnor, Console, and Designer. We just use the process engine (just a bunch of JARs) embedded in our web application. As "just another library" like any of the other Java libraries, it works well when we do unit-testing using Jetty or Tomcat when deployed.</p></div>
