jBPM database

[onizuka82]

Hello there

I have a bit of confusion in the database that jBPM are using. Does jBPM actually uses two database in which one is a object database and the other is relational database. I read the user manual, it states that jBPM actually uses Hibernate and Hypersonic. What does this means? If i am not mistaken, Hibernate is compulsory to use and we can actually choose other Hibernate support JDBC compliant relational databases such as mySQL, firebird and etc. Pls correct me if i am wrong.

Thank you in advance.

jBPM uses Hibernate as an object/relational persistence engine. With this abstraction layer, the java objects can be persisted in any relational database that is supported by hibernate. Have a look at http://www.hibernate.org/80.html to see which databases are supported. For further reading on how to change the DB in jBPM, I suggest
http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/userguide/persistence.html#databasecompatibility.
