Hello Asier,

"ruote as a server" best incarnation is currently :
http://github.com/kennethkalmer/ruote-kit

the 'client' application communicate with it over HTTP. Usually it's
JSON over HTTP.

Launching a flow implies POSTing a launchitem encoded as JSON to a
/processes resource. While browsing the workitems currently available
for a participant is done by GETting /workitems/participant_name.

The Abstra.cc guys are running a ruote-kit equivalent in JRuby. From
it they can access various Java libraries directly and other
applications can talk over HTTP to the application.

(Abstra.cc please correct me if I'm wrong).

I've seen other people communicating with remote ruote via DRB (some
kind of Ruby RMI).

Ruote doesn't do any user/role management. It only has some
participant name/regex to participant implementation mapping.


Sorry for the fuzziness of my answer, best regards,
