jBPM (jbpm-4.0.0-Alpha1) looks interesting it is in my short list; good graphics after installing into Eclipse, but the instruction for packaging, deploying and running a BPM app are not that clear. Feel like there is other documentation I just haven't found it.

The test program:

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

ProcessEngine processEngine = new Configuration().buildProcessEngine();
ProcessService processService = processEngine.getProcessService();
ExecutionService executionService = processEngine.getExecutionService();
ManagementService managementService = processEngine.getManagementService();

TaskService taskService = processEngine.getTaskService();


processService.createDeployment().addResource("process.jpdl.xml").deploy();


Gets the following exception:

0:14:25,653 SEV | [DefaultCommandService] exception while executing command org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cmd.DeployCmd@8e32e7

org.jbpm.JbpmException: resource process.jpdl.xml does not exist

at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.stream.ResourceStreamInput.openStream(ResourceStreamInput.java:55)

Any help in orienting me to your platform woould be appreciated, I have limited time on this contract for evaluation.

thanks Frank
