Hi Gert, the spi package is applicable JBoss containers. But the idea is simple: Create a service entity that can hold a reference to the process engine and bind a lookup mechanism to JNDI. I am not a weblogic expert, but IIRC weblogic has "startup" classesthat can be used for such purposes. Alternatively you might look into packaging jbpm as an EAR.
