API support

[isterin]

I'm trying to find some information in the docs and am having some issues getting a clear picture.

My understanding is that right now, you have to use the java APIs to invoke the jBPM engine and there is no remote invocation support. Am I wrong?

Also, invoking resources from within the business process, can only be java services, not SOAP based resources? I believe that the BPEL module adds that functionality, but will you ever support it outside of the BPEL module, using JPDL?

I hope I'm just misunderstanding the above, please clarify.

Thanks.

No, correct. In 3.1 there is no remote calls yet. In 3.2 remote calls via JMS will be possible

The soap/ws question has been posted lots of times before. You cannot call webservices *natively* from jbpm, but with some very limited java code you can call webservices, since jbpm can call java, you can call webservices. It's that simple.
