  | Currently this a message bean that listens on an IMAP mailbox for iCalendar/iTIP replys that acknowledge or decline a task assignment. This is rather rudimentary at the moment. Again you might argue that it would be better for this to be integrated via ESB, but I want to explore the limits of mapping iCalendar to jBPM.

We are thinking about exactly that.  And then even parsing the response message so that tasks could be completely performed through an email interaction.  If the initial email contents would be generated something like this:

Please provide following details: 
Amount: 
Date:
Owner:

Then the user can reply and fill in the requested data.  that could then be parsed and used as the task input.
