jBPM BPEL dependence (Runtime)

[fwshk]

Hi all,

I am going to deploy jBPM BPEL into "minimal" server of "jboss-4.0.4.GA".
However, I am not able found any document about the dependence or architecture of jBPM BPEL.

1. Would anyone tell me what server is jBPM BPEL depend on at runtime (Default setting - Using HSQL as database) ?
For example, JBossWS

2. As jBPM BPEL is then extension of jBPM, is it also inherited those dependence of jBPM ? If yes, would those dependences are also listed ?

Any replies are welcome and Thank you very much.

The architecture of jBPM BPEL is simple. It uses jPBM for executing the process graph, J2EE 1.4 web services for invoking/providing functionality and JMS to dispatch incoming/outgoing messages internally.

1. Given the above, the minimal server configuration won't do. You need the JMS and WS components (and their dependencies, of course). The "default" and "all" server configurations work.

2. BPEL does not require all the functionality the core jBPM distribution offers. Hence it inherits part, but not all dependencies. The actual dependencies are all included in subdirectory lib.
