Multiple processdefinitions can share the same jbpm database. In fact, if you have a separate ds for each process you also have to deploy the console app multiple times to connect to the different ds's. You're missing my idea. A JBoss -ds.xml file really isn't solely a datasource definition, it is an outbound adapter definition/configuration. Each process definition would be a an instance/activation of the JBPM RAR resource adapter. Just like a datasource in JBoss is an activation of the JDBC RAR.
