Full config of jbpm with OC4J/oracle9i
i have succesfully integrated jbpm with oc4j n oracle 8i here is the step by step methods for it
************************************************************
Summary:
This document describes procedures of downloading, deploying, and running jbpm2.0 on Oracle9I database and application server (OC4J). This material is based on docs in www.jbpm.org & discussion on www.jbpm.org/support.html & http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=240085. All exercises are performed in Windows XP.
Requirements:
Standard Java SDK and JDBC driver (classes12.jar) and Apache Ant., Standalone OC4J server or jdeveloper 10g .
Download jbpm and unzip it to local directory
Download jbpm-2.0-beta3.zip from http://www.jbpm.org and unzip jbpm (jbpm-2.0-beta3.zip) to local m/c. The extracted directory is jbpm-2.0 which is jbpm.home.
After , we should have a directory structure under jbpm-2.0 like this:
+core
+doc
+ejb
+example
+lib
+web
build.properties
build.xml
common.build.xml
?
After modification build.properties should look like:
Here we assume that jbpm and ant are deployed in E drive of the system
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# jbpm main build properties
#
# you can overwrite properties in this file by adding a file called build.local.properties in
# this directory and override the properties you want to customize. this way you don't have to
# change this file since this one is managed by cvs.
#########
# homes #
#########
jbpm.home=E:/jbpm-2.0
ant.home=E:/ant
jboss.home=E:/jboss4 # jboss is used for taking some library files
############
# jbpm.pde #
############
# is only used when you want to create a separate Process
# Development Environment. That is a directory structure
# for developing processes, outside of the jbpm2 directory
# structure. See also the ant target 'create.pde'
jbpm.pde=E:/jbpm.pde
Note jboss.home is just a dummy directory because we use OC4J .
Deploy your application using ant build tool
In this step ant deploy, which compiles and deploys the web application. There are many class-not-found compiling errors. Make sure those missing library files (.jar, etc) are included in the %classpath%. For instance %classpath% should contain ?\jbpm-2.0-beta3\lib\hibernate and ..\lib\hibernate\.jar, etc.

Generate jbpm.war from ant tool
Under {$jbpm.home}\web>ant deploy.process.archives. The purpose is to generate jbpm.war given the processdefinition.xml ? sample pay raise process. Here are some critical steps.
Jbpm.properties file in {$jbpm.home}\web\src\jbpm.war\WEB-INF\classes should be modified like:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# In this file, you can overwrite the default jbpm configuration properties.
# See the javadocs of org.jbpm.JbpmConfiguration for more information about
# configuring jBpm.
hibernate.query.substitutions=true 1, false 0
hibernate.dialect=net.sf.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver # thin driver for oracle
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@server1:1521:cpms
hibernate.connection.username=arno
hibernate.connection.password=arno
jbpm.file.mgr=filesystem
jbpm.file.mgr.directory=E:/jbpmDB
jbpm.create.tables.log=true
show_sql=true
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specific value settings should follow your own environment. Prior to this deployment, make sure you be able to connect to the oracle db using the url, username, and password. This is very important. Of course you need to resolve any compiling errors by including proper library files in the %classpath%. In this process, database tables (schema) should be generated in the database connection.
Edit schema.generation.properties in E:\jbpm-2.0\core
### SCHEMA GENERATION PROPERTIES ###
hibernate.dialect=net.sf.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@server1:1521:cpms
hibernate.connection.username=arno
hibernate.connection.password=arno
jbpm.create.tables.log=true
Generate sql script from ant

[schemaexport] log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
[echo] the schema is generated in target/sql/create-jbpm-database.sql
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 4 seconds
To avoid log4j warning put log4j.properties in %classpath% having following contents
#log4j.properties
log4j.rootCategory=INFO, A1
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout= org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p - %m%n
Now finally deploy the archive

Open jdeveloper and see the tables in specified schema
After this jdeveloper will show 16 tables starting from JBPM_<some name> All these classes are used by jbpm for maintaining the workflow
Open jbpm.war(pay raise example) in jdeveloper
Now open the project file named jbpm.war situated at E:\jbpm-2.0\web\target that project can be opened as a project from an existing war file option provided by jdeveloper
Now compile and run your application using run manager of jdeveloper
