I'm well aware that Document workflow is a specific case of workflow, but Alfresco has some nice api's and other functionality on top of jcr that could be called from jBPM. Mappings like you describe will most likely always be needed unless you want jcr to be tightly integrated which I would not do. Most is not different then from having a normal external (to jBPM) datamodel View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4259467#...
