By the way, for spring users it might be interesting to know that you can also reference spring beans instead of a class reference in jBPM's transaction context. If you have a bean configured in your application context like this: <bean id="identitySession" class="mypackage.IdentitySessionImpl"> | <property name="myUserDAO" ref="myUserDAO"/> | </bean> You can reference it in your jBPM configuration's transaction-context (jbpm.cfg.xml) like this: <transaction-context> | <env class="identitySession" /> | ... | </transaction-context> View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4241227#...
