Hi,
Here is a java snippet about starting a workflow

String wfDefinitionName = "jbpm$MyPrefix:MyWorkflowName";

// workflow properties
        Map<QName, Serializable> properties = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>();

        properties.put(ContentModel.PROP_OWNER, "admin");
        properties.put( etc …

       // add empty workflow package to properties
        NodeRef workflowPackage = serviceRegistry.getWorkflowService()
                .createPackage(null);

        properties.put(WorkflowModel.ASSOC_PACKAGE, workflowPackage);

        WorkflowDefinition wfDefinition = serviceRegistry.getWorkflowService()
                .getDefinitionByName(wfDefinitionName);

        WorkflowPath path = serviceRegistry.getWorkflowService().startWorkflow(
                wfDefinition.id, properties);
