What does on BPM build content impact?

[radmir]

Hi everybody,

I tried to build JBOSS BPM 3.1 for JBOSS 4.0.4.GA application server and got the build which didn't work. Any attempt to get url: http://localhost:8080/jbpm failed, but after I had replaced hibernate3.jar onto one delivered in jbpm-starters-kit-3.1 package all begun to work.

The question is: what is the reason of this strange behavior. May it be that Java doesn't work correctly under Windows 2003 server? I got some problems with ORACLE AS installation as standalone server, but these vanished after upgrading to Service Pack dated by 24 of March 2005. Have anybody JBPM installed on Windows 2003 server?

What may say mighty All?

It seems there are a lot of bugs in open software. Or may this is trick to force client to buy a support? Ant build uses hibernate3.jar from jboss-4.0.4.GA/server/default/lib during build, but have it's own hibernate3.jar in jbpm-3.1/lib. The first one is of version 3.2.0., the last - 3.1. Why? In userguide (jbpm.pdf) mentioned jbpm must work with 3.1. So the question is again why build uses hibernate3.jar from jboss server distribution?
If you create build.properties file in userhome why ant read it but ignore it?
If you try to build an examples for bpel extension ant deploys them into default configuration not in jbpm, but these small fact not mentioned in manual.
Some guys recommend to use web-console for testing result of deployment of samples, but it doesn't work in jbpm configuration. It seems it is not an easy task to place it into jbpm folder.
And the problem with versioning in Java - it remains forever? The samples for JBOSS uses 1.4.2_x, for jbpel 1.5.x. JBPEL extension uses another type of license good this worse to mention in the readme or userguide, but how it prevents to build one starters-kit with all in one bundle including working samples. And the last there are a lot of configuration xml files in many folders. But from the guide is not clear which of them really works in what the case.

Want to move to open source but how?

please think twice before make such stupid insults. we try hard to produce the best possible software. we know that our software isn't always polished as it should. open source means that various people collaborate on the net to produce software in an open manner.

How does it help (thinking twice?)
