  // Let's send another signal.  This will resume execution by // leaving the state 's' over its default transition.

更详细的例子可以看参考，里面有很详细的操作说明。




下面是根据参考例子测试时出现的一些问题及说明。
一、关于数据库，首先要修改数据库连接，然后创建数据库，里面的表格jBPM提供相应的API去创建。
public void testDeployProcessDefinition() throws FileNotFoundException { 
        // 从 jbpm.cfg.xml 取得 jbpm 的配置 
        JbpmConfiguration config = JbpmConfiguration.getInstance();
        config.dropSchema();//删除数据表结构
        config.createSchema();//创建数据表结构
        // 创建一个 jbpm 容器 
        JbpmContext jbpmContext = config.createJbpmContext(); 
        // 由 processdefinition.xml 生成相对应的流程定义类 ProcessDefinition 
        InputStream is = new FileInputStream("processes/simple/processdefinition.xml"); 
        ProcessDefinition processDefinition = ProcessDefinition.parseXmlInputStream(is); 
        
        // 利用容器的方法将流程定义数据部署到数据库上 
        jbpmContext.deployProcessDefinition(processDefinition); 
        // 关闭 jbpmContext 
        jbpmContext.close(); 
    }

这个是根据流程配置文件最后生成的数据库信息的测试方法，刚开始我还有一个疑问，数据库和数据表是系统自动创建还
是要手动创建，数据库是要手动创建的，数据表可以自动创建的
