Hi Can we use the jbpm library without using the jbpm database schema ? In particular, with respect to subprocesses, it was found that a link needed to be established which tells JBPM to take the subprocess from a particular subprocess name. If a subprocess with the name does not exist, it will give an exception while executing the subprocess node. always have to deploy the (main and sub) process definitions before using a subprocess. Is this true ? Does this imply we have to use the jbpm database schema for a generic process ? Is there any alternative way (other than perhaps using the database), such as an API which tells JBPM, what subprocess definitions to use ?
