I found out something yesterday.

Taking a closer look at build.xml inside \jbpm-4.0\jboss y discovered that there's a JBoss 5.x configuration directory there, config.jboss5, used by default. Also there's a JBoss 4.x configuration directory, config.jboss4, but it's never used in that ant scrpit file. So if you change in that script the property
<property name="jboss.version" value="5.0.0.GA" />
for
<property name="jboss.version" value="4.2.3.GA" />

it will download and install JBoss 4.2.3 GA, and install JBPM on it, but it will not work, since none of the configuration files under config.jboss4 are used.

So I picked up those files and put it where they were supposed to be, inside "default" instance of JBoss:

	1. I copied and added JPBM Deployer MBean definition
	
		<mbean code="org.jbpm.integration.jboss4.JBPMDeployer" 
  | 			name="org.jbpm:service=JBPMDeployer">
  | </mbean>
  | 	
		 from  

		jbpm-4.0\jboss\config.jboss4\deploy\jbpm\jbpm-service.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml

		 to

		 jbpm-4.0\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jbpm\jbpm-service.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml


	2. I copied 

jbpm-4.0\jboss\config.jboss4\deploy\jbpm\jbpm-service.sar\jboss-beans.xml
	
	   to 

jbpm-4.0\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jbpm\jbpm-service.sar\jboss-beans.xml

	
Then I tried to start JBoss but it failed. There were some classes missing, those involved with JBPMDeployer. I found them in jbpm-4.0\lib. They are jbpm-spi.jar (also in jbpm-4.0\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deployers\jbpm.deployer) and jbpm-jboss4.jar. 
I copied them to jbpm-4.0\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\lib and restarted JBoss. It started OK, but simply accessing JBPM Console, I saw the java:/processEngine issue. There were no bean with that name bounded to JNDI.

That bean is defined in jbpm-4.0\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jbpm\jbpm-service.sar\jboss-beans.xml, but somehow JBoss didn't see that file, and those beans are not instatiated on boot time, and, therefore, never bound to JNDI. 

To solve this, I moved jboss-beans.xml to

	jbpm-4.0\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jbpm\jbpm-service.sar\jbpm-service.beans\META-INF\jboss-beans.xml

instead of 

	jbpm-4.0\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jbpm\jbpm-service.sar\jboss-beans.xml

This is the only way I've found to force JBoss to find those beans, instantiate them and bound them into JNDI, if they are configured for that. It's the case of 

  <bean name="org.jbpm:service=ProcessEngine"
  |         class="org.jbpm.integration.spi.JBPMService">
  | 	<property name="serverConfig"><inject bean="org.jbpm:service=ServerConfig"/></property>
  |   </bean>

  wich, in its constructor, has the magic key...

   public JBPMService()
  |    {
  | 	jndiName = "java:/ProcessEngine";
  |    }

Done this, JBPM 4.0 is finally working on JBoss 4.2.3 GA! 

I'll try to update build.xml ant script to do all this stuff automatically. I'll add it to related JIRA issue, also.

Regards!

PS: I apologize about my english!
