JBoss EAP

• Integrates the JBoss Enterprise Service Bus (ESB),JBoss Rules engine, and jBPM businessprocess management built on the JBoss EAP

• Provides business process automation viareusable services, mediation and orchestration

• Decouples your business policies by providing rules encapsulation

• Light footprint and easy installation

• Agile architecture for easy extensibility

• JBoss SOA Platform is Simple, Open andAffordable

The JBoss SOA Platform mediates services,automates business processes

and decouples business services

Enterprise versions provide long-term support, regular releases including fixes, new features,

and new platforms certifications.

New community features may be backported to Enterprise versions

JBoss Enterprise Product Delivery ModelExample: jBPM Community and Enterprise Product

While community projects continue to rapidly evolve, enterprise middleware products focus on long term stability.

Enterprise versions provide long-term support, regular releases including fixes, new features,

and new platforms certifications.

Dead Community Branches are not maintained and

never productized

Introduction to jBPM 5


Vision

jBPM as the process engine in a knowledge-oriented platform for developers and business users

jBPM as an embeddable process engine for developers

jBPM5 Overview


jBPM5 Core Engine

• Light-weight

• Embeddable

• Native BPMN 2.0 execution

– Common Executable subset

– few custom extensions


Business Process Example


jBPM5 Core Engine

• Persistence / Transactions

– Pluggable

– Defaults to JPA / JTA

– Command-based

• Auditing

• History Log


jBPM5 Core Engine

• Human Task Service

– Pluggable

– Based on WS-HumanTask

– Advanced human task management• Start, complete, abort• Claim, reassign• Escalation• Rule-based assignment• ...


Flexible processes


Eclipse Plugin

• jBPM5 Eclipse plugin

– Wizards

– Runtimes

• Drools plugin

– Graphical Editor

– Auditing / Debugging

– Guvnor integration

• In progress: BPMN 2.0 Eclipse editor


Domain-specific Processes

• Extend palette with domain-specific, declarative service nodes– define input / output parameters– runtime binding


TITLE SLIDE: HEADLINEDemo


Guvnor

• Guvnor as knowledge repository

– BPMN2 processes

– Task and process forms

– Process images

• Targeted to business users

• Build, deploy, test, manage and collaboration features


Designer

• Web-based process editing

• Based on Oryx / Signavio

• In collaboration with Intalio

• Use cases

– View executable BPMN2 processes

– Prototype new BPMN2 process

– No full round-tripping yet


Console

• Web-based management

• Business user

• Features

– Process instance management

– User task lists / forms

– Reporting


Installer

• Out-of-the-box working environment

• Sample process

• Components

– Eclipse (jBPM + Drools)

– Guvnor + Designer

– jbpm-console

– Services

– H2 DB, human task service, history log


Other

• Process instance migration

• Business Activity Monitoring

• Seam integration

• Spring integration

• Grid

• OSGi


jBPM 5 Project Roadmap

• jBPM 5.0 (now)

– blogs / documentation / examples

• jBPM 5.1 (May 2nd, 2011)

– BPMN 2.0 Eclipse editor

– WS orchestration

– Repository of domain-specific nodes

– Business Activity Monitoring

• jBPM 5.2 (August 1st, 2011)


Migrating from jBPM3 (/4)

• Semi-automated

• One-shot

• No runtime / history data

• Migration project (Eric Schabell)

– Focus on jPDL3 -> BPMN2

– Document API migration

– Community extensions for jPDL4


Comparison

• Vision:

– Processes + rules + events

– Integrated in a platform

• Most advanced BPMN2 engine

• Dynamic / flexible / adaptive processes

• Standards-based

• Powerful Eclipse environment

• Domain-specific processes
