The RiftSaw project (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.jboss.org/riftsaw">http://www.jboss.org/riftsaw</a>) is a BPEL engine.
jBPM (5) is a BPMN engine. jPDL is the process language used by jBPM
3.<br>
<br>
While the opinions differ, <i>my</i> opinion is that BPEL is better
suited to orchestration of a SOA environment (webservices) whereas
BPMN is more oriented towards abstracting business process logic
(away from the code). It's a subtle difference. <br>
<br>
If you are looking to build an application that's modular by using
webservices, and need something to coordinate/orchestrate the
webservices/modules, I think BPEL might be a better choice. On the
other hand, if you're trying to model business processes, BPMN is
probably better. <br>
<br>
BPEL also seems to only contain a subset of the functionality that
BPMN has, but again, both standards have different approaches so I'm
not sure how accurate that is. <br>

Hi,
I am new to this forum and have just started working on jBPM. I have
downloaded and installed jBPM.
I was going through the user guide and got to know that jBPM creates flow
using jpdl. I wanted to know whether jBPM is compatible with BPEL. I
searched and found something on its use of BPEL for version 3.x. But for
versions 4.x and 5.x I am not able to find anything related to BPEL. Is
jpdl better than BPEL thats why it has probably discontinued BPEL use.
Could somebody please help me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Sumeet Karawal
