Yes

jBPM does not offer this. Use e.g. quartz. jBPM 4 will most likely support this, but maybe not in the initial 4.0 release

Timers with repeat work perfectly, just not for starting processes

I have been examples in the manual, but I am not able to find where  dateOfPension  (as an example) is defined, or how to define it (java code ? other configuration file ? in the bussines calendar config file??)

dateOfPension is a processvariable, just like any other thing in EL (or a seam component if jBPM is used in seam)
