once you have initial ideas, post them here for review.

as you say onward, hibernate's criteria api is the way to go.  so the thing that i would like to see sketched out is the navigation between search pages, results and other functionality.

i absolutely agree


I get the impression that you are thinking too generic in this first iteration.      I think the best approach is just hack 2 or 3 queries together ad hoc and get them in the web console, just to get a feel of the web console in general.  No reusability in mind.  Consider this a prototype.  

Then we should design the BAM DB (shouldn't we call this a Business Intelligence DB instead ?) and build the generic query framework on top of that.

For the design of the BAM DB, i want to work this out in the jbpm 4 prototyping module: lightning.  Once you're ready i can help you on your way in there.

Thoughts ?
