there,<br>
<br>
I have seen in chapter 6 of the documentation,
that Drools Flow can be configured to use JPA
and transactions to persist the running
states. However, I am in a EJB where I obtain
entity managers with a @PersistenceContext
annotation, and the transactions are managed
by the container, whereas in the example an
EntityManagerFactory and a TransactionManager
are used. <br>
<br>
Could I configure Flow in a direct way to be
used by my EJB?<br>
<br>
Thanks very much,<br>

Ok, looking at the code, I guess that Drools flow is
not ready to work with standards EJBs. The reasons are
the following:<br>
<br>
* The JPA annotations are not standard JPA
annotations, but hibernate ones. For example
"CollectionOfElements" in ProcessInstanceInfo class.<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
</div>
That was the one element we couldn't find a replacement for
in JPA1, JPA2 fixes this, but we haven't updated to JPA2
yet. I don't believe we use any other hibernate specific
annotations.

You can use both JTA transactions and local entity
transactions. So transactions can be drools maintained or
container/external maintained.<br>

As for that, I will probably modify the codes, so Flow
could be used in our EJBs. I would like to know if
someone could guide me on what should I modify. <br>
<br>
I will post the modifications in case they are of
interest to someone.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much,<br>

Thanks for your response. Could you tell me how can I use
Drools with my container managed transactions, or where can I
read how to do that?. I think that the example given in the
documentation (Drools Flow, 6.1.4 - Transactions) does not
apply to this case, and I can't figure out how to do it.<br>

Shows configuring a JTA transaction here:<br>
