Summary

In this chapter, we 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 to define information needed by our process definition's data interchange. This interchange is a requirement of every business situation, and hopefully this introduction has given you an insight on how BPMN2 covers the many necessities that BPM systems have.

The next two chapters will introduce the tooling provided by jBPM6 to model and execute our business processes. Knowing the tooling that the project provides will not only help us to get a complete overview of how we can implement the BPM discipline, but also provide you with many ideas for applying them to your own business domains.
