Ok, I've got my JBPM environment up and running now, aside from one thing: I want to be able to have long running process (stored in the database) and short term processes (which are kept in memory) preferably totally without Hibernate. 1. I assume I need to configure two jbpm.cfg.xml and use JbpmConfiguration.getInstance(String) do denote which one I want. Correct? 2. Cannot I just leave out the persistence service, and there are not sensible classes in org.jbpm.persistence so how does one disable the persistency?
