Using jbpm (inside esb) for application logic?

[carstenrudat]

Hello,

I am not sure, whether or not this is a wrong usage of the esb, but I'd like to deploy a business process with jbpm on the jbpm-runtime deployed with esb.

So, I can change the process like it is done in the quickstart-examples, monitor it with the jbpm-console and might have different services take part of the business process (via esb).
From the quickstart examples, I know how to start a process. But how can I access to a processinstance to get for example a task-list for an user?

I saw the "An online presentation and demonstration of JBossESB" from the Live-Trails-docu. There we have two human task to be done outside the ESB. They were started via the jbpm-console. In my application, I would like to present a tasklist, then "start" and "end" the task.

Could you give me an info about how to do that?

Thanks,
Carsten

The integration with JBoss ESB allows the ESB to start a process and respond to service requests from jBPM. It does not restrict jBPM functionality in any way. You should be able to use any tools supported by jBPM for this purpose.

I will be presenting a demo at JavaOne in a few weeks and intend to show seam/jBPM/ESB working together. I will be using the seam task management integration with jBPM to drive the process through to the ESB.

And it will be recorded and available online at a web site near you soon afterwards :-)
