In all honesty, I knew I wouldn't be deploying the starter's kit in production, so I took the time to figure out all dependencies to do the following: 1) Use Maven for all my builds. 2) Deploy to standard JBoss 4.0.4 3) Build a custom SAR, rather than use the existing jbpm.sar. I wanted to add to the jBPM database schema, which required adding more hibernate mappings, so I needed these added to the hibernate.cfg.xml file, which resides in the jbpm.sar. It was a bit of a pain, but worth the effort. Brad View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3965531#...
