There is an extremely easy-to-set-up demo included. Step by step instructions to get started quickly.
jBPM 4 is a very important milestone for jBPM. We've put a lot of effort in lowering the treshold to get started and extending the scalability to the highest load scenarios.
- Embeddablity in any Java environment remains as it was
- Full continuous integration matrix in our own test labs
- BPMN process graphics
- Completely redesigned, clean and stable API, including an easy to use Query API.
- Out-of-the box experience with a demo that is extremely easy to set up, showing the new designer, API usgae, console and example processes
- Simplified and revised database schema
- Automatic installation scripts
- Performance improvements
- Configuration on a more abstract level leaving less chances of getting it wrong.
- Separation of runtime data and historical data
- Native support for integrating with the Spring framework.
- Improved documentation, including a separation between user guide for typical use cases and an developers guide tackling advanced topics.
- And much much more
Congrats on the release! I can't wait to try it out.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tom,
Congratulations Tom !
ReplyDeleteGood work! Looking forward to updated documentation (CommandService in JavaDocs made me a bit frustrated).
ReplyDeleteBTW, if jBPM is deployed as independent ".sar", how scripted activity can reach classes from other EJB deployment's classpath? Does it matter if a process is signaled from that EJB module or from e.g. timer?
Finally :-)
ReplyDeleteI posted an easy example (in German) in our Blog: http://www.bpm-guide.de/2009/07/08/ein-kleiner-jbpm-4-showcase/
The installation of this "extremely easy" demo ends up with a java exception when running the ant file:
ReplyDeletestart.jboss:
[start-jboss] os 'sunos' not supported in the startjboss task.
We tried to set it up on a Solaris 10 Sparc system. I guess there is no technical reason for this denial. Is there any workaround?
Thanks for reporting, Karsten.
ReplyDeleteI created jira issue https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-2586 for tracking this.
Congratulation for the new arrival. I just hope it gets a lot of response.
