I wanted to use JBPM to our custom application, where we don't want to use Eclipse designer. It will be pretty heavy. So we want to design a custom JPDL designer and much of the work will be in the creation of JPDL based on user input. Probably creating an XML Bean out of JPDL schema and fill the data into bean based on user input is a better approach? Also at this point we don't have Java task Handler. So we are not worried about java classes. During deployment we can convert the xml bean to JPDL XML and package the files and deploy to server. Am i fine with this approach for a scaled down JPDL designer and deployer? Another question is that do we need to create the PAR at designer side or just a Zip file is enough? Also I have searched for a java client for starting the jbpm process and invoking the process. Also possibly running the process. anybody please throw some light into that? any APIs to do these operations? How JBPM designer is creating the HTML pages or Seam pages from the PAR deployed? Thanks in advance. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4061584#...
