I have to say that I partly disagree here. In general the focus should
be on BPMN-2.0 but to enable users to have a smooth transition at the
beginning jPDL should have the same priority. It would provide a much
easier migration from previous engines. This again leads to the
question: How far will jBPM 5 be based upon jBPM 4.x.

application - for the reason of embeddability. So maybe this should be
configurable and pluggable. Anyway in contrast to the jBPM 4.x right
now, it should be possible to pass the username to engine when invoking
operations on the API. A common use case is the "process owner" - the
guy who started the process but also for reasons of audit and
traceability: who performed which action on the engine. I don't what
kind of support is existent in jBPM 3.2.

I understand this in the following way: a BPEL engine should fit in the
overall architecture - kind of pluggable - but jBPM should not execute
BPEL processes itself. However from the PVM's point of view this is
possible. Since it will be a BPMN-2.0 there will be webservice support
regarding service tasks since webservice calls are the only service
calls standarized by the BPMN 2.0 specification.
