1. +Is it correct to say that my custom Richfaces webapp will replace the entire GWT
console that came shipped in the installation, and that it will communicate directly with
the Process Engine?+
2. +What is the need for GWT Server component running on client machines?+
It mainly depends on your design criteria. You can have RichFaces client that will
communicate directly with ProcessEngine. You can embed the jBPM runtime in the same
application, instead of running on a seperate server if you choose to.
+3. If I defined my own web console to communicate with the Process Engine, it means that
it needs to work off a different implementation of the Integration Layer. How does the
Integration Layer Impl interact with the Process Engine - what API is involved and where
are the Javadocs located? I should also mention that I have trouble locating Javadocs for
jbpm (org.jbpm.* packages). The only Javadoc that came with the install was Knowledge API
(org.drools.* packages).+
+4. Is Knowledge API the only interface that my custom web app will interact with in order
to execute the Process Engine?+
You can have mutiple design options for integrations. Here is a simple web example where
the API is used from a simple jsp page.
