This is how i invoke JBPM context from a servlet that i use as test. JBPM and Servlet or your custom webapp are on the same server :). Getting JBPMContext. JbpmConfiguration jbpmConfiguration = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance(); JbpmContext ctx = jbpmConfiguration.createJbpmContext(); Retrieve the last deployed version of the process: ProcessDefinition def = ctx.getGraphSession().findLatestProcessDefinition("YourProcessName"); Now create a new instance: ProcessInstance pInst = null ; pInst = def.createProcessInstance(); Now browse the ProcessInstance class to see what you can access from the instance. To move through the process you can use : pInst.signal(); this work for me with JBPM 3.3.1 GA. I hope this help :) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4218632#...
