I have both jBPM5 and Drools Guvnor up and running. I am failing to see the connection between the two. I can create a workflow in Guvnor and save it. How does jBPM use that stored workflow?
You can import the workflow into Eclipse. If you have Eclipse hooked up to Guvnor (ask if you need directions on this), you can Import the workflow and view it, modify it and save it back to Guvnor. Then the original author of the workflow (or anyone else who has access to Guvnor) can see the modified workflow.
This is especially useful if, say, you have a bunch of business people making workflows. They can create the workflows, then a developer can grab the incomplete workflow from Guvnor, do all the "hook up" to make it work, save it back to Guvnor and let the business dudes play with it.
Hope this helps!
