[jbpm-users]Newbie question: testing a process without going through wsdl?

Hi, I'm new to jbpm, and would appreciate help on the following. I have a simple BPEL process that doesn't require any special container resources (database connection pools, etc). I'ts just a silly "sayHello" BPEL <process>: - The <receive> expects to receive a person's name - The <reply> is calculated by: concat('Hello to you ',  personsName) Now, I'd like to test this process. Tutorials show how to test it as a web-service: deploy to JBoss, get the generated WSDL, generate a client from WSDL, and use this client for testing. However, my question is: does jbpm provide easier API, that would allow me to test the process as stand-alone, without starting up a server and generating clients? In other words, I just want the stand-alone piece that knows how to parse <process> files and execute them... without the remoting/soap overhead. I was hoping for some API in the lines of: // this is not real code, just 'wishful thinking': public static void main(...) {    Process p=parseXml(myBpelFile);    p.runOperation("sayHello", "John"); // operation name + input    String reply= p.getReply(); } Thanks :)
