jBPM jPDL 3.2.3 Released

It has taken us a while but we finally released the 3.2.3 release of jBPM jPDL. As you might expect with a service release, most of the changes and updates concern bug fixes and usability enhancements.

You can find the list of all the changes in the release notes, but these are a few highlights:

1. Better enterprise support: A number of reported issues regarding this have been fixed. Also there is a new chapter in the documentation describing how to use the Java EE Server Facilities that jBPM jPDL offers.
   
2. Web Service front end: The codebase now includes a starting point for those who wish to expose services of the jBPM jPDL engine as a web service. It offers limited functionality such as starting a process and continuing its execution, but interested parties can take it from there and further build on top of it. You'll find the build instructions in the jpdl/ws subfolder of the distribution and the deployment instructions in the documentation.
3. Inclusion of GPD 3.1.3.SP2: The biggest improvement of the SP2 over the earlier released 3.1.3 release is that the code completion in the source page is working again.
   

You can download the new release from our download pages. Please use the forum to ask any questions and our JIRA to post any issues.

jBPM @ SOA World 2008 East

I will present a talk on the use of jBPM as a lightweight SOA solution at the upcoming SOA World conference in New York City. If you are a delegate at the conference you are of course most welcome to attend my presentation. But if you happen to just live in the neighborhood and want to have a beer with me in the evening and/or talk about our beloved workflow engine, feel free to drop me an email.

Koen
