Is there a case study/real production deployment of jBPM Engine deployed as a Service (as opposed to the engine being embedded with the workflow client application)? The jBPM documentation has the following text that leads me to believe jBPM does support deployment as a service:
"The core of jBPM is a light-weight, extensible workflow engine written in pure Java that allows you to execute business processes using the latest BPMN 2.0 specification. It can run in any Java environment, embedded in your application or as a service."
What I am unsure of is the extent of this support. Is it that jBPM is designed to support a cloud/service based deployment? Or does the jBPM implementation today can be deployed and used on the cloud as a hosted service? If the later is true, I would love to get info on some of the real production instances where this has been successfully done.
