Mapping JBoss Seam & jBPM with annotations

[juangiovanolli]

i'm seeing the code of jBPM and seam and i have that question:
when do you think change the mapping of the persistent classes in jBPM and Seam from hbm.xml's files to annotations???

somebody considered that idea?

Ho Ho Ho !!!!!

Good question - why don't you ask the JBPM guys: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=217

jBPM 3 core targets jdk1.4, so annotations etc will not be supported. There is a discussion whether the (current) webapp could require jdk 1.5 so we can move to using seam in the webapp. There is lots of hasitation towards that (from customers) since the webapp should achieve a certain level of stability and many companies are not ready at all to move to jdk 1.5 (see http://jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=96465) The reason for this is that it has been under constant redesign for the last 2 years (besides adding new functionality)

The discussion on moving to java 5 for jBPM 4 has not been (publicly) started. Don't know if this has been internally discussed yet.
