Please bear with me. I am new to not only jBPM but also J2EE. I have been struggling and working on a proof of concept to use jBPM on Weblogic. I need to find out if I am on the right course.

If I use the downloaded jbpm-enterprise.ear and manage to swap out jboss.xml with weblogic specific deployment descriptor (weblogic-ejb-jar.xml), then deploy. Should that work? Anything else I need do besides configuring hibernate?

I like to have a message driven bean be called from a stand alone java program. Then the MDB will start the workflow process. Is it a correct way to have the MDB to load process definition and signal the token to start the process just like many sample unit tests have demonstrated? I guess my question is instead of using the web console interface, what's the right way to programmatically start and transition the process.

Thank in advance for your help!
