      hey,

      im currently looking into jBPM and trying to evaluate different systems. But i cant seem to find any information about how and if its even possible to execute php or any other code as an action except java.
      Is there a way in doing it, i've been googleing since 2 days an nothing really usefull.
      If anyone has an example or an hint what i can search for, i would really appreciate it.

      thanks in advance

          You can't directly call another language from Java (unless you're using JNA). That is not a limitation of Java, but of programming languages in general.
          You can however use any scripting language supported by the JVM.

          If that is a problem, you could write the php could, put a remote facade in front of it and call it from Java using webservice/REST/RPC/... technology.

            And maybe http://www.caucho.com/resin-3.1/doc/quercus.xtp is interesting... not sure how it would fit in though... might be that you could make it pluggable for jBPM4

              @Joram Barrez

              I see your reply in 2009, since then are there any further development or better ways to do this? i.e., "If that is a problem, you could write the php could, put a remote facade  in front of it and call it from Java using webservice/REST/RPC/...  technology."

               

              Could you please provide some more pointers/link/example/docs to do this (using JBPM with webservices/REST/RPC calls)

               

              Thanks
