I am just starting out on the openwfe road but I do have experience of
JBoss jbpm and OSWorkflow.
I am looking at replacing a data processing system currently based on
OSWorkflow with an equivalent based on openwfe - the main motivator
being the greater vitality of the project.
The way the system currently works is as follows:
1) The processing involves around 30 stages.
2) Each stage consists of either
a) Running some SQL on a remote Oracle server or
b) Running a process on a remote box (linux or Windows) (currently JMS
based ) or
c) Requesting acknowledgment from a real person
3)Depending on the success of each stage you should be able to
a) Continue to the next stage
b) Perform a rollback action and repeat the stage
c) Perform a rollback action and return to the previous stage
The user should be able to choose between b and c based on their skill
and judgement!
There is a web frontend. I have written my own version of the webclient
application so I am able to launch workflows and various other things.
I would appreciate any comments, suggestions or gotchas you can think
of. I plan to make extensive use of sub-processes to keep thinks
organised, but should I be using APREs for the tasks on remote nodes?
Thanks for any input you may give
