I agree with Kris and Bernd regarding the WS-HT usage and plugability Although I'm also partly with Tom that if you can write almost 1MB of specs about 'task management' it is complex. Secondly (and there may be 'workarounds') I dislike the WS-* nature of it. Makes it way to complex imo.

But politics.....I've never had a problem integrating jBPM and Drools in one application. I did not use either of their deployment methods and just bundled them in versions of applications. Works great (multiple versioned webapps related to processes/rules is a much more complex problem) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4210481#...
