Preface

jBPM6 Developer Guide was written to provide a comprehensive guide that helps you understand the main principles used by the jBPM6 project to build smarter applications using the power of business processes. This book covers important topics such as the BPMN 2.0 specification, the WS-HT specification, domain-specific runtime configurations, integration patterns, and tooling descriptions. All these topics are covered with a technical perspective that will help developers to adopt these technologies. The book is also targeted at topics that are not usually covered by BPM systems, such as business rules, complex event processing and tooling extension capabilities, which are introduced to demonstrate the power of mixing different business knowledge descriptions into one smarter, adaptive platform.
