Hi all, I just wanted to introduce myself to the group and let you know my interest in this project. The reason I am interested in jBoss is because I was searching for an Open Source EJB Container/App Server upon which to build a framework for workflow oriented software systems. The design of this Workflow Framework is partly the result of my attempts to design a software system to manage a particular .com's product information repository and the workflow problems involved (I have war stories). The design was never implemented, and, as a matter of fact, was never shown to anyone outside my circle of peer reviewers (a handful of PhD's) before we bailed from the now almost bankrupt company. The reason I am telling you this is that I would like to build this framework upon jBoss and as such I have a vested interest in it's continued development. I likely will be contributing back to the jBoss sourcebase in areas that support this framework. So far I would like to commend the jBoss developers for putting together such a great system. I was amazed at how simple it was to install, run, and deploy EJB's in. I think it took me at least a day to get my first EJB deployed in BEA/Weblogic. Bravo! BTW: The software I am developing will be Free (as in speech, not beer). I will release the first rev of the code once I have enough written to interest outsiders. -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
