Hallo everybody,

my name is Philipp Kanis and I study at the university Trier Germany. For my diploma thesis i need some informations about jBPM / JBoss.I dont know whether this is here the right place for my questions. So i hope anyone can help me.

What i want to know is about the modelling of process respectively workflows in jBPM.

Does the modelling part of JBPM support a data- or documentflow? I mean, can i integrate documents (.pdf, .doc…) in a workflow respectively in a workflowtask?

If the answer is yes, there are following questions i want to ask:

Which documenttypes are supported to integrate into a workflow?        

Is it possible to upload documents in a main storage like a repository?

Are there access authorisations  for these documents?

Is it possible to manage the metadata form these documents?

How is the visual presentation of these documents in a workflow? A seperate flow or just like a small add-on to a workflowtask?

I hope my english is not so bad and anybody can help me.

Sincerely, Philipp
