> You can use whatever database you want to do that. The UserGroupCallback mechanism can be configured to interact with external repositories of users and groups as well. By default, and most of the examples and test cases inside jbpm uses the same DB to store users and Groups but that can be configured.

> Most of the time you model processes for the users that you already have in your company systems, and for that reason, those users needs to exist somewhere. As I mention before, by default, when you don't provide an external repository of users and groups like LDAP, the users are stored in the DB.

Or just the jars library provided by jBPM5 suffice in order to managing our workflow life      cycle without running and using jbpm-gwt-console-server-5.4.0.Final-EE6.war component ?
