JBPM with websphere

Question

That's it, I'm new to jBPM. I made a very simple example using the link below

http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2010/02/01/updated-hello-world-tutorial-for-jbpm-4-3/

Although I got an example of work, I have some questions on jBPM and integration with my application in Websphere

• I do not want to use the jbpm console to interact with the user (for example, starting a process, etc.).
• I need to understand what is needed for a specific jBPM database setup (tables, entities), and I want to use the minimum setup that should be used for jbpm
• I want to use my own web pages that will allow users of my application to interact with workflows (start, stop), etc.
• I only need the jbpm.jar library to run jbpm workflows or I need to take the whole set of libraries (about 25 cans).

Can someone point me to the correct tutorial that shows how to embed jbpm in an existing application?

Thanks.

On the JBPM 4.4 blog, I recommend http://blog.aparnachaudhary.net/2010/08/19/jbpm4-4-with-spring3/ .

Although there is no single whole book for JBPM 4, you can read Spring Enterprise Reciepe Chapter 11 (Spring with JBPM) to learn how to use Spring beans in JBPM4. You can download the source code of the book from the Apress website. It should be noted that the code examples for books use JBPM 4.0.

You can use the configurations from the above blog if you want to use JBPM 4.4.
