I wonder if it would be useful. | | I've been thinking in jBPM mode for so long I've started finding all sorts of uses for it :) Not only that, but you could have the ESB message be put in a wait state while it was waiting for some external system to respond. You could have timers fire off. It just seems like there's so much you could do if the two were combined into one metamodel. Combine ESB's rich component set, with JBPMs clean process model.
