Hi, I have wrote a business process management tool (http://jbpm.org)
Some time ago I though it could be a win-win situation if I'ld offer the tool to be incorporated into JBoss.
JBoss would benefit in my opinion because a BMP-system is a higher level extension of an app-server. Most of the commercial vendors have such an offering.
jBpm would benefit because it gets a higher visibility.

At that time, I asked the JBoss group and they said it was not a good idea because of their relations with commercial BPM-vendors like oakgrove & webmethods.
Since I have only recently discovered that the JBoss group and the JBoss developer community have some very distinct points if interest, I'm asking the JBoss developer community now :

Do you think that offering a BPM-module with JBoss is a good idea ?
Do you think jBpm would be a good base to start from ?

We're planning to use a more recent version of xercesImpl.jar in production because we're switching to Jetty 5 for the Servlet 2.4 & JSP 2.0 features and this requires a newer version of Xerces to validate web.xml which now uses a schema (so I suspect anyone using Tomcat 5 will have the same issue).

I see the new version of xerces came out on 30 Jan. I remember that there was a bug which I saw a report of last year November time, but I can't find it anymore - something to do with tomcat or JSTL taglibs - is this new xerces now bug-free as far as tomcat is concerned?

Sorry my original question was going to be: what is Jetty?

It seems that nobody replied your post. I am very interested in your idea though. I had this kind of thought long time ago as well.

I have recently joined the community. Will take a closer look at your bpm tool. Looks very interesting. Seems a great deal of work and thought was put into the project.

JBoss does have to consider their sources of income and we must respect that. But the general community is not bound by their relationships.

Tom,

I will take a look at your project and discuss with the core group.
Check back in a few days.

Tom,

Can you give us a comparison matrix between your product and Mandarax

Thanks,
