here's pointers on how to plug your own identity service in jbpm.cfg.xml, remove the line <import resource="jbpm.identity.cfg.xml" /> and add <transaction-context> | <object class="your.package.YourIdentitySessionImpl" /> | </transaction-context> | YourIdentitySessionImpl should implement org.jbpm.pvm.internal.identity.spi.IdentitySession Making this identity pluggable is not our first target, but it was taken into the design. Let us know how it goes. I'll add these notes to the developers guide. And update them with your feedback.
