Introduction to jBPM [closed]

Part of the existing system at work uses jBPM, and a new module I need to put together needs it. However, I have no idea where to start on learning how to work with it.

I have access to JBoss 4 on the server, and whatever I'd need to do local development. I have no experience with anything JBoss, whether it be the server, jBPM, etc.

The only thing similar to a tutorial I can find is the user manual, which seems to assume that you have a working knowledge of a lot more than I do to be able to put it to use. I've also never used Ant (aside from running some pre-made build scripts from within an IDE) or JHibernate, which both seem to be important for me to understand it.

I'm being given about a week to learn everything I can about it.

What would be a good starting point, either a book or a website, for me to learn how to use JBoss and co.?

You can read jBPM Developer Guide by Mauricio Salatino . Well written book for JBPM 3.2.
For JBPM 4.4, you can read Spring Enterprise Recipe, just one chapter for JBPM 4.4 there.

You could go to a jBPM training by Red Hat, that will teach you more or less everything in 3(?) days.

Otherwise the project home page has a very comprehensive User Guide that should get you started (you may already know this, as I understand from your question). Browse around the jBPM home page, wiki and forums to get a feel for it.

Of course the jBPM guide will not explian how to use ant of Hibernate. But then you don't need Hibernate (knowledge) to get started with jBPM.

Do you have any experience with jBPM training by Red Hat? – Cordage 29/1, 2013 at 10:44

I did take such a training around 7 years ago and found it very good at that time. Of course this is does not tell anything about todays trainings. – Lusty 29/1, 2013 at 13:36

Did training covered more advanced topic or basic ones? I am interested in best practices, how to's from real projects, experiences etc. Basics topics can be read in documentation. – Cordage 29/1, 2013 at 14:46

I don't recall - and even if I did, I doubt it would be still applicable 7 years later. – Lusty 29/1, 2013 at 15:34
