Hi Folks,

I am a newbie to jBPM. My requirement is to implement jBPM work flow to one of our existing project developed using Struts and Hibernate. I went through the demo and I created a project similar to that. Folks, I have some doubts and need help from you people.

1. The jBPM is developed completely using JSF. Whether it is possible to incorporate with struts (without compromising any functionality) ? If so, any articles or tutorials for reference...

2. Is there any application developed successfully using struts and jBPM?
(I wanna know whether it is possible to implement it before I proceed further)

3. How to implement or incorporate the inbox concept in our application ?

4. Is there any good books available for jBPM?

5. How is the support from jBPM (to clarify my queries)?

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,
Prabhu.

1: jbpm core is completely independend of JSF. The webconsole is, but you can implement the same functionality using struts. There are some small examples on the wiki

2: Yes, see wiki for small examples

3: Probably not what you want to here, but my answer would be: "by implemeting it"

4: No, not yet, but if you have a fairly good java knowledge and understand some concepts of workflow, the docs, code and examples will explain a lot

5: Commercial? Contact a JBoss sales rep. Free: See the responses in this forum (imo the level is good, but I'm prejudiced)

Tutorial-like book would be popular just like the tutorial on SUN's site .But i hope the book would be talk about the detail of JBPM,not simply to teach pupil how to use JBPM,I have read about all the document this site contain,I want more:)not only a developer want but a designer want.

To design the core engine of workflow,I'am seriously:)

[kukeltje]

PVM, the Process Virtual Machine is the new core. Look at the Design of PVM forum and at the PVM source. That is where the discussion on the new core (even better separation of concerns and more flexible)

Books on this are rare if at all...

look at this for jboss seam in general. And 3 chapters about jBPM integration and usage with seam.
