jBPM5 Developer Guide
- Learn to model and implement your business processes using the BPMN2 standard notation
- Model complex business scenarios in order to automate and improve your processes with the JBoss Business Process Management framework
- Understand how and when to use the different tools provided by the JBoss Business Process Management platform
jBPM5 Developer Guide
The jBPM5 Developer Guide covers two important standard specifications that every software engineer must be familiar with; the BPMN2 specification and the WS-Human Tasks specification. BPMN2 defines a standard business language that will be used to model business scenarios throughout the book, and WS-Human Tasks will help you to define how real people execute the human elements of those processes. Both standard specifications are covered with in depth examples. Using these two specifications and understanding the BPM discipline will allow you to improve your software designs and guide successful implementations that will impact positively on performance.
Approached from a developer’s perspective, the jBPM 5 Developer Guide teaches readers all the essentials of Business Process Management through applicable examples with helpful screenshots and diagrams.
jBPM5 is a well known open source Business Process Management System (BPMS) used for defining and executing business processes. Java developers can use jBPM5 to analyze, improve, and maintain business processes, which are integral to an organization’s management. This book guides you through each level of the jBPM5 platform, allowing you to model and build applications which will automate your business scenarios.

Who this book is for
This book is for Java developers and Java architects who need to have a deep understanding of how Business Process Management frameworks behave in real-life implementations. The book introduces you to the jBPM5 and Drools Community where you can contribute; providing ideas, adding code, fixing issues, or providing documentation and examples.
The book assumes that you know the Java language well and also know some widely used frameworks, for example Hibernate and Log4J. You should also know the basics of relational databases and the Eclipse IDE.
