Organisations need to leverage their existing systems and ensure that all applications and business processes being created provide the business agility to adapt to customer needs and market conditions tomorrow. IT organisations need a consistent and cost-effective way to organise the interactions between their applications and services in order to create new or improved business processes. JBoss jBPM is a workflow, process automation, and page flow platform that enables coordination between disparate applications and services, resulting in the deployment of new revenue generating business processes. JBoss jBPM combines the easy development of workflow applications, business process flows, and web application page flows with a flexible and scalable process engine. It can be used in the simplest environments or scale to handle the most complex clustered J2EE application environments. JBoss jBPM enables interoperable applications to be implemented and deployed quickly and easily. By providing a flexible and robust framework for creating, coordinating, and monitoring business processes, JBoss jBPM makes changing complex business processes dramatically easier, significantly enhancing business agility.

FLEXIBLE AND SCALABLE PROCESS ENGINE

JBoss jBPM process engine provides a powerful foundation for orchestrating interactions between applications and services. It is suited to service-oriented architectures and is interoperable with all of the J2EEbased integration technologies including Web Services, Java Messaging, J2EE Connectors, JDBC, and EJBs. The process engine automatically handles state, variable, and task management as well as process timers and audit logging across all active processes. And JBoss jBPM provides visibility into the current end-to-end state of processes in which users and applications are interacting. While properly executing long-running processes is a complicated task, JBoss jBPM handles the complexity in a flexible and scalable manner. JBoss jBPM unifi es the definition, execution, and administration of workflow processes and provides a centralized platform for managing interactions with users and systems.

EMBEDDABLE AND PLUGGABLE ARCHITECTURE

JBoss jBPM is designed to run standalone or be seamlessly embedded within any Java application or programming framework, such as JBoss Seam. The nature of its embedding is completely customizable to the requirements of the application. Furthermore, JBoss jBPM’s pluggable architecture allows extensibility and customization on every level; within the process engine, for each process definition and every corresponding process instance. JBoss jBPM is designed to support multiple process languages and environments including jPDL for workflow and human task management, BPEL for web services orchestration (planned for a future release), and page flow constructs for embedded workflow in web applications. This ability to support multiple process languages is a key differentiator for enabling both process developers and web application developers to utilize a unified platform for creating a wide range of applications.

INTEGRATION WITH JBOSS SEAM

JBoss Seam is a framework for creating Web 2.0 and rich enterprise applications based on EJB3, Java Server Faces (JSF), AJAX, and other innovative technologies. JBoss Seam provides declarative application state management for all Java components and tightly integrates with JBoss jBPM for its support of page flow scenarios. JBoss Seam components are stateful and contextual, with a well-defined container-managed life cycle. By using JBoss jBPM with JBoss Seam, developers are able to write applications with complex workflows and user interactions more easily.

Minimum system requirements

JDK 1.4.2 or higher

512 MB RAM

300 MB hard disk space

Supported operating systems

Since JBoss jBPM is 100% pure Java, it is

interoperable with most operating systems that are
capable of running a Java Virtual Machine (JVM),
including Windows, UNIX, Linux, and others.

Supported Databases

Since JBoss jBPM uses Hibernate for its database

access, it is interoperable with any JDBC-compliant
database that Hibernate supports; including Oracle,
MySQL, Hypersonic SQL, PostgreSQL, and many
others.
