Who this book is for

This book is intended for Java developers and architects who want to start developing applications using jBPM6, as well as start working on top of the provided tooling, either using or extending it. jBPM6 is a very flexible framework, but with this flexibility comes architectural and design decisions that we need to make when we start using it. This book offers a complete reference to all of the components distributed with jBPM 6.1.0.Beta3 community version, and it can be used as reference material to guide a team of developers in building efficient solutions using business processes and other knowledge definitions such as business rules and complex event processing.

After reading this book, you will have a good understanding of the jBPM6 architecture and components. jBPM6 is a Red Hat's lead open source community project and is fully supported through JBoss BPMS product. If you are interested in the BPMS product, you can find more details at http://www.redhat.com/products/jbossenterprisemiddleware/business-process/.
