Deploy a web application without using jbpm-console

[jalovic]

Hi everybody,
First of all i'd like to say that i've read many documentations and forums and i've seen this demo(http://docs.jboss.com/jbpm/v3/demos/movies/jbpm-overview-800x600.htm) before posting this message.
If i understand itwell,jbpm-console is just a web-application given with the jbpm-runtime.
My probleme is that i want to integrate the workflow(vacation request)in a web application(where the jsf pages are already there).
And I have a question,is it necessary to run the server(jbpm-jpdl-3.2.3\server\start.bat) before any deployment,can we deploy process in other servers like Apache-tomcat(i've tried,but in vain).
Please,guide me so i can integrate the workflow into my web application,i'm in a training and i'm blocked.
Can you tell me the advantage of integrating worflow besides it gives an agility in the maintenance.
Thanks in advance.

This is a normal usecase for jBPM, so should not be a problem

,is it necessary to run the server(jbpm-jpdl-3.2.3\server\start.bat) before any deployment,can we deploy process in other servers like Apache-tomcat(i've tried,but in vain).

No, Yes, see the wiki

Please,guide me so i can integrate the workflow into my web application,i'm in a training and i'm blocked.

Do it just like you would integrate other frameworks in your webapplications. Use the api. Examples are the webconsole itself (jbpm4jsf) or a struts example in the wiki

Don't reinvent the wheel
