The jBPM service bound to the JNDI is not a remote component, like an EJB or Servlet. So you can inject it in other components deployed on the AS, but not from the outside (there is no spec for remote services - in plain Java). You could use the remote CommandService, altough this is more low-level. Another option is wrapping the operations you need in an EJB/webservice/...
