User development, A new message was posted in the thread "JBPM4.3 should be JBPM5.0": http://community.jboss.org/message/523264#523264 Author : Tom Baeyens Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/tom.baeyens@jboss.com Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- We don't target JPA at this time.  We anticipate to move to JPA at some time in the future.  Do I understand you correctly that you're saying that with 4.2 you could use JPA and we have broken that unintended compatibility in 4.3?   If so, is there something we can do to easily fix it?   BTW, what is the big problem with hibernate/JPA?  In essence, jBPM uses a configurable JDBC connection in the end and it can participate in a JTA transaction.  JPA might be more convenient depending on your architecture, but I don't see how this could be a showstopper.  It would be good for us to understand your reasoning if you think differently. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/523264#523264
