jBPM with JBoss vs. without JBoss

[brado]

Is there any problem or reason in particular for using jBPM with JBoss vs. without JBoss (i.e. in a straight Tomcat environment)? If I don't have any other dependency on JBoss, is there anything inherently bad about an app using jBPM in a non-JBoss enviironment? Will any functionality be lost or changed?

Thanks,

Brad

no, jBPM can run on a standalone tomcat as well. AFAIK, the only thing you will not have is the enterprise grade async messaging.

Ronald,

Thanks for the reply. Can you expound on what you mean by "enterprise grade async messaging"? Are you basically saying that JMS won't be available?

Thanks,

Brad

yep, no (clustered!!!) jms available. Don't know exactely what the behaviour of the command executor will be if you run two tomcat instances against the same db. Probably the suggestion will be to run a command executor on only one node.
