We are also running jBPM 4 in spring + JTA and we are not having the same problem as you describe. We start our spring context from a simple war project that uses a parent spring context loader at the ear level (we are also using ejbs). When the application is started the jobexecutor is started automaticly as we have setup spring to execute the buildProcessEngine factory method on SpringJbpmConfiguration at spring startup (lazy-init=false).
