[jboss-user] [JBoss jBPM] - jBPM 4 - sugessted execution mode

[citylights]

I was hoping to get some advice about which of the execution modes we should be using for our process engine requirements.  If i understand these modes correctly they are used to demarcate data ownership and processing responsibilities between the process engine and the containing  system into which the engine has been embedded. 

Persistent modes require the process engine to keep a record of current and historical states as well as the process definitions themselves. This means therefore that jBPM uses its own relational database structures to store and maintain both the execution details and process definitions.

Am I correct in assuming that if we use our own data structures we can distinguish between embedded included or embedded referenced. For example we either refer to the execution instance id maintained by jBPM or we hold a copy of the current state in our data model [included]. When the state of the process instance is updated we update our records accordingly. Thus with the included mode we are responsible for maintaining the value of the current state. 

If some can point me to some documentation about this for jBPM 4 it would be appreciated.
