Most programs today put all the workflow logic in the code. jPDL is a big improvement. A business analyst may need a technical person to walk them trough a process definition the first time, but jpdl is readable. In addition, just being able to define a process in one xml file is a big improvement over many existing business applications where the workflow is spread over many - i mean MANY - files and only the developers that have been on the project for a number of years understand the business process.
