Dear John,
thank you for the wonderful OpenWFE(ru).

In my organization we are trying to setup a centralized workflow
execution system and
mixing things with power of rails, i believe that owferu it's the very
best tool.

Our idea is to have a unique db where wf instances are stored and a
plugin (something like a
owferu-service-connector -briefly OpenWFE-sc ) that may be included
into all the rails apps that need workflow "services".

Once a client application requests (to OpenWFE-sc) a wf process
execution, all the information about
the process itself are stored in the centralized db( this is similar
to what is currently done on
the filesystem by the FilePersistedEngine, but things are stored in a
common, perhaps remote,
database service ).  On the other side the workitems should be
dispatched to the client application,
because the client app has the responsability of handle in the way it
decides them ( this seems to me
exaclty what you do in densha where workitmes are completely passed to
(and stored on) the "client".

I suppose that what it needed is something like a DbPersistedEngine:
i'had tried to write this class,
starting from the FilePersistedEngine, and by consequence i provided a
set of classes that enable me to write
yaml on a db, similarly to FilePersistedEngine.

But now the problem for me is: what data must be stored on the
database in order to obtain a storage service
that can offer at least the same features of the FilePersistedEngine.
Can you describe me what data is needed to obtain this, please? I'd be
very glad to try to write it on my
own ( with your precious help and supervision  :) )


Thanks
