[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - jBPM Evaluation Confusion

Hello, I have very little experience working with professional workflow engines...I do have alot of experience developing jsp's, servlets, JEE, etc. I'm having trouble understanding jBPM from a technical standpoint. At the company I work for, we have an internal JEE application that runs on Tomcat. It was built about 5 years ago using JSP and servlet technology with custom workflow. The application functions as a critical internal business process with employees interacting from several departments. It uses a set of database tables to dynamically determine the workflow. The app is very primitive to say the least, however, it has become a critical component for the business. Fast forward to 2007, there are many problems with the application and we are considering a complete overhaul using a professional workflow product. Since we are a Java shop (open-source first), there has been alot of talk about jBPM. Here is a set of questions I can't seem to find the answers to: 1. Our current app has about 30 jsp screens... Does jBPM automatically generate new jsp's ? 2. How is a JEE app incorporated with jBPM? 3. Are we required to use the web-app that is shown in the jBPM demo? The demo sets up a basic process for requesting vacation time, then generates an app. Is this how a new app is created? 4. Is there a JEE sample application for jBPM ? thanks, Hopefully you guys can help me clear the fog. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4105085#...
