[OpenWFE-users] openwfe as an embedded workflow

[Renzo Tomaselli]

Hi John,     I'm evaluating a few open-source workflow engines to be used as embedded automation subsystems within a distributed, CORBA-based DMS we are working on since several years. My favorite approach is pattern-based, and thus I'm dangling between Openwfe and Yawl. Our DMS is CORBA-based, hosting its own OO database, distributed security and role-based accounting. Thus handling of users, roles and persistency are services already available. I have do see how to overlap a component capable of providing automation tasks, which should behave persistently in a transaction-oriented environment. Our platform is written in C++, and it includes low-level, distributed atomic components which I would see as flow action executors (we already use them for similar purposes by a job dispatcher). While I will reserve some time to evaluate Openwfe in the near future, any comment about using it for the above purposes is much welcome. Also any word comparing Openwfe vs. Yawl would be appreciated.
