Hi All, We've been working on WS-Human Task implementation for the past few weeks and this is an update on the current progress and what we are planning to do next.
As mentioned in [1], we have re-factored the human task component's architecture. The main idea was to separate human task specification logic and allow the task engine to be run independently. So we have removed Carbon dependencies and introduced new interfaces for user management and task deployment. The code was temporarily committed to [2]. This produces a .war file which could be deployed on a Servlet container. The new code reflects the latest Human Task specification published by OASIS[3]. There are some significant changes from the older draft[4] which was used for the human task implementation in BPS 2.0.0. We have added support for sub tasks, deadline processing for the tasks and around 40+ new task API operations were implemented. There are several other functionality to be implemented according to the spec. But at this stage we decided to focus on usability issues as we currently support a limited set of UI features. So we are planning to integrate the current code base to Carbon and focus on the UI implementations. Here is a list of items that we are planning to work on: - Adding a new human task editor. - UI functionality for Task Operations. - A new gadget for human tasks which could be used by task stakeholders for rendering essential task information. After these items are in place we'd focus on the rest of the to-be-implemented functionality. Your input is appreciated.
