One of the things that you will notice during [...]

I’m back! In my previous post I’ve introduced a couple of patterns about how to mix processes and rules and viceversa. This post, before jumping into more advanced topics which requires to know how the Rule Engine works, will explain with some examples how we can interact with the Rule Engine using stateless sessions .

Hi there, I want to share with everyone some updates about the jBPM Form Builder. I was doing some work to make it independent of the environment and more easy to use. This post include the current state of the project, how to build it and run it and the future steps. Feel free to leave feedback [...]
