For the most part I agree with Britt, although the number of platforms the console could run on is *currently* limited then. That is where I (to some extend) agree with Jeff. The fact that the jbpm console does not need to run on the same system as the rest of the process or the esb to me is therefore no limitation. Internally we even forbid the console to run on the same system. But still I'd go for JPA with pojo's (although I like ejb3 better) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4137214#...
