Chapter 8 - Persistence & Transactions
● Dealing with Long Running Processes and
System Integrations requires a deep
understand about these topics
● Drools and jBPM share the same
mechanisms for Persistence and
Transactions
22. Persistence
● Based on JPA
● Every time that a process reach a safe point it is
persisted until an external interaction is completed
● All the data associated with the process is stored as
well
23. Transactions
● Based on JTA
● Most of the time business processes are about
System Integrations
○ If our processes are interacting with
transactional resources a 2 phase commit
strategy can be used to guarantee
coherence inside the same transaction

● How our processes can benefit from the power
of a Rule Engine?
● What kind of things we will be able to do?
● What's the difference between jBPM5 and
jBPM3/jBPM4 and other BPMS?
● Simplify our business processes to express more
accurately how the business works

Chapter 11 - Architectural & Integration Tips
● The integration with the Rule Engine give us a
richer context to work on
● The stateful nature of this context will allows us
to build smarter applications that keeps track of
multiple business process execution
● Different architectures can be built using these
concepts
