Hi Gavin,
I finally start using jBPM for my project and I am thinking it is pretty amazing tool. My plan is use jBPM on server side for process execution controlled by client tool through WS.
In the past, I read this (that mention jBPM):

And now this update:

So, subsequent to that, the very first thing we will work on is WS and ESB integration. We now know what that stuff is going to look like (well, at least I do), so it is just a matter of actually implementing it, and it will go out initially as Seam 1.2 beta. I have promised you guys Seam/WS in Q1, so the current release date for that is March 30 ;-)
At least in the initial release, Seam-WS will probably not feature any specific functionality for service orchestration, since this functionality is being provided by jBPM itself (for WS orchestration) and by JBoss ESB (for ESB event orchestration).
(Initially I had thought we would do this ourselves, but it turns out to be unnecessary.)
What we will be providing initially is the stateful component model for the service.
