One interessting emerging technology today is Business Activity Monitoring (BAM). The basic idea is easy: Give the management (or operations) much more information about the status of your running business processes in almost realtime. In most implementations the trick is to generate Events about status change of business process instances and to send them to the BAM system. Today I want to describe how we generated these events easily and generic with jBPM in a current project.

I got a lot interesting feedback about my ideas around the jbpm.deployer (see jbpm deployer for jbpm in enterprise environments), and I promised to write I a bit more about it. So I will deliver today…
Basically a lot of people confirmed, that the jbpm.deployer is a useful feature for them. Some of them even requested the code, so I guess they really want to use it 
And from a few projects I saw in the past I know from the past also build something quite similar to it.

After writing the jBPM meets ESB article I want to write today a bit more in depth about that integration. In a current big project at a customer we are involved to set up the environment including JBoss ESB and JBoss jBPM. If you really want to use these technologies in bigger environments you sometimes feel like the first poor guy doing it 
So I want to share some of my problems and solutions with you here.
Today I write about classloading issues with jBPM in the context of versioning and scoped deployments.

The combination of a process engine and an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is one interessting aspect of modern service oriented architectures (SOA). Therefor I wrote an article in the German Java Magazin about it. To have a practical showcase the integration is shown with a small example using JBoss jBPM, Mule ESB and the JBoss ESB. This Showcase I want to present in more depth here.
