BPEL Review

[pruna]

Hi,

My name is Andres. I'm currently writing a comparaison about open source BPEL engines. I was reviewing the info in your website and published documentation, and there are several things that I couldn't find info about.
I'd like to know if I can ask for these stuff here or is there anyone else about who I should contact about this issues.

Regards,

[aguizar]

Sure, go ahead and ask here.

First ask about http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=143904. jBPEL is worthless without it.

Ok, here we go! :)

I found the documentation for the BPEL module to be a little short.
There are a lot of "enterprise level" features, that I didn't fin info about, like integration with ESBs, process versioning, transaction support, security, clustering, human tasks, and event management.
About development environment, if I understood correctly, I should use the Eclipse BPEL project, because GPD is for jBPM's specific language (jPDL).
The other big group of things where I couldn't find info, was the project health itself (history, roadmap, release plan, features expected, etc).
I found a lot of info about the whole jBPM project, and jPDL, but not so much about the BPEL module itself, so any other info will be appreciated.
Lastly, does JBoss provide "commercial" support for this product?
