"Alternatives to the jBPM web console"

--------------------------------------------------------------
I have recently downloaded and ran examples that came with jBPM 5, as well as 
reviewed the User Guide. I am researching on how to embed the jBPM engine into 
a custom web app, which will provide the UI (currently plan on using RichFaces) 
to invoke user/human task actions, kick off process instances etc. 

I am still unclear on how all the components of jBPM fits together and how I 
can achieve my goal. A few questions below. 

+Please see the diagram here  
(http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13839#Main_components)for a breakdown of 
the jBPM components/terminologies.+

1. Is it correct to say that my custom Richfaces webapp will replace the entire 
+GWT console+ that came shipped in the installation, and that it will 
communicate directly with the +Process Engine?+ 
2. What is the need for GWT Server component running on client machines? 
3. If I defined my own web console to communicate with the Process Engine, it 
means that it needs to work off a different implementation of the Integration 
Layer. How does the Integration Layer Impl interact with the Process Engine - 
what API is involved and where are the Javadocs located? I should also mention 
that I have trouble locating Javadocs for jbpm (org.jbpm.* packages). The only 
Javadoc that came with the install was Knowledge API (org.drools.* packages). 
4. Is Knowledge API the only interface that my custom web app will interact 
with in order to execute the Process Engine?


Thanks,
Wendy
