for introduction into jbpm i would recommend you to use the already configured jboss server which is brought with the starters-kit. It uses a hsqldb which contains all data you need to test (including users). the users are stored in your db. there are scripts to generate the db schema. AFAIK the only the tables are generated not the content...so no users. At the wiki page are scripts for generating both, schema and example content for mysql. BTW for 3.1 starters-kit 3.1.4 is avaliable and as well for the newer 3.2 release View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4059063#...
