Jbpm and Business Activity monitoring

[meissa]

Hi all,
We're evaluating Jbpm to replace Webmethod BPM.
I've already played with both. Jbpm within seam integration and Webmethod with a struts based application.
I have some questions about Jbpm features.
1)Does Jbpm provide BAM? If not, is there a plan about covering it?
2)Can we find a comparison between Jbpm and Webmethod BPM?
3)Where could we find all JBPM features?
thanks in advance.

1: jbpm 4 (well, the new console) provides BAM based on birt and jasperreports. In additions SeeWhy is product that has jBPM integration
2: I don't think so
3: What is 'all features' jBPM has a basic set of features with which you can create almost any workflow. In addition it has may ways of extending it, so for a basic impression of the features I would say read the manual a little. If you have more detailed questions, I'm happy to provide answers.

Thank you for your quick answer.
which manual do you think I have to read.
The jbpm 4 has several documentations and I don't know which one to start with.

Just read the jbpm 3 manual. Basic features and concepts will not change. More detailed things like configurable task management, look of the processdefinitions will.

Regarding BAM, there is not much documentation yet, but it will be user-configurable,

Is there any sample configuration file or video tutorial on BAM feature of jBPM4.3? I hope this will dynamically show status of each task in the context of the entire process definition and not just a static image of   process definition diagram without any status information.
