I would like to thank my family for always being there to support

and implementing Java Enterprise applications. He currently works at Red Hat as

relational databases (Oracle, SQLServer, DB2, PostgreSQL), platforms (AS400, Unix,

Linux) and mainframe technologies.

In 2002, he adopted Java as his main technology. He has been working with it since

I want to thank Mauricio for choosing me to review his book, which

I think has great value for the developers who want to get to know

BPM theory and jBPM technology.
