Mr. Smith (monkmanusa), I suspect you're assuming a lot of architecture that simply isn't there. Mind you, I think this is a GOOD thing - it allows deployment in darn near any scenario you can imagine. Like much of JBoss and more recently, JEE5, the engine is just POJOs. I suggest that you get the tutorial examples running, without trying to migrate to your environment at all, just as they are "out of the box". See http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v3/userguide/tutorial.html. After that I think you'll have a clearer idea of the core architecture (or lack thereof). It's pretty quick - should only take you a couple of hours or so. -Ed Staub View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4007846#...
