There are a number of good open-source workflow projects. Werkflow from Werken, Commons-workflow from Jakarta, OSWorkflow from Open Symphony are a few. Commercially there are TONS, BEA Integration, Tibco Active Enterprise, WebMethods, IBM DragonFly, Drala, etc. Id like to include connectors to at least a few of these inside of pageflow.

Have you (or anyone on the list) looked at Bob McWhirter's "werkflow"? http://werkflow.codehaus.org/ I've been meaning to look at it more closely to see if it qualifies as some or part of the "open-source business application controller frameworks" you mention.
