Overview of this book

<p>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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />"jBPM5 Developer Guide" allows you to adopt quickly the BPM framework to help you achieve your business goals; reducing the amount of time that you need to master BPM concepts and all the individual components provided by the platform. The book is packed with applicable examples, BPM diagrams and step-by-step instructions to help you master jBPM5.</p>

Summary


In this chapter we have learned the basic flow objects that we can use to model our process diagrams. We have also covered an introduction on how to add the initial technical details required for defining the information that our process definition will need in order to define the data interchange required by this business situation.

The next two chapters will introduce the tooling provided by jBPM5 to model and execute our business processes. Knowing the tooling that the project provides will help us to get a complete overview of how we can implement the BPM discipline in our own business domains.
