hi,
i wanna know if we can integrate jbpm in j2ee application, to provide the service of modeling some processes.
it could be like a service communication between the j2ee application and my jbpm application.

if it's possible, can u give me some advice
thanx

certainly its possible, jBPM is a business process engine, and you can communicate to it using your application. As I mentioned in another thread http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=81129 , JBoss SEAM can help with this kind of use case as well. Here is a link to the SEAM documentation referring to jBPM: http://docs.jboss.com/seam/reference/en/html/tutorial.html#todo

thx kevin,
i looked to the post,
in my case, we want that the jbpm engine deals with the process states and let the business part developped by the j2ee application.
for exemple, can i, upon the actions, invoke some services in the business layer of the j2ee application.
i think that could be done.

Yes, that is exactly how jBPM works. The jBPM engine manages the process state, and will call to your J2EE application logic through actions that you setup.
