Previous posts of thejBPM Getting Started Series should provide a good base for the understanding of this chapter. Also, basic knowledge about application transactions should provide a better understanding of the chapter.

To create high-performance business automation projects, there are some topics in which the business automation specialist needs to worry:

  • What is the best way, in each scenario, for the engine to deal with objects in-memory?
