no it would not. The reason is quite simple... threadmanagement is not allowed in JEE and JEE has way better options to do things async (building your own configurable threadmanager with pooling etc is quite difficult). For plain tasks jBPM works fine but for longer running actions or parallel running actions use the jBPM async option that makes use of jms or the jobscheduler (which is a kind of basic threadmanager) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4160207#...
