JPDL vs Standards

[isellakuria]

Hi! This is a question directed to the creators of jbpm. I've started working with jbpm the last few months and I hope to be working on it on the near future. I think is a nice approach but there are still some things I don't understand about the choice of jpdl, why did you choose to develop a new modelling language instead of using a standard like xpdl? I reckon is because of the Graph Oriented Programming approach you chose, but sometimes is difficult to "sell" a product to your boss if is not based on standards... How do you think jpdl will interact with modellin standards like BPDM, BPMN, XPDL,...? Is there any further work planned on XMI to jdpl translation? What I would like to know is how do you think jpdl is positioned in the discusion of BPM standards like the ones presented in http://www.workflow-research.de/Publications/Slides/TRNA.MIZU-State_of_Standards_(AIIM_2005-05-17).pdf

Regards,

Igor.

Hi again! I'm working with an jbpm 2.0 implementation provided by http://wf.runa.ru/. It's a very good work indeed but the platform is based on jbpm 2.0 though they plan to switch to jbpm 3.0 soon. I'm not an expert on jbpm (yet) and I would like to know the main differences between jbpm 2.0 and jbpm 3.0, what are the major improvements of jbpm 3.0? What are the main differences of jpdl 2.0 and jpdl 3.0?

Thanks,

Igor.
