One of the scenarios of using jBPM is as embedded within application. This means that application will control transaction of jBPM, since it is Hibernate in background that should not be a problem. In my opinion configuration is the key here, when you setup both your application and jBPM to use JTA transactions then your application and jBPM should be under control of the same transaction manager regardless if they share data source or not. JTA configuration is delivered with jBPM distribution but (afaik) it is not configured as default one. In dev or user guide there should be some info how to configure JTA support.
