Hi Marius, web server software is ubiquitous : IIS, Apache, whatever. They are easy to deploy, manage and maintain. An intranet webserver is something common in an organization. Letting such a webserver 'serve' process definitions is thus straightforward. http://intranet.company.com/processdefs/process1.xml http://intranet.company.com/processdefs/procces2_special.php for example. Note the second line : the process definition is PHP generated (just an example) : yet another way of having a very dynamic process definition. Of course, you could still store the process definitions on the same file system as the engine.
