Hi Jonathan,
There is a very nice newbie guide archive for OpenWfe at the
following place:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060207025750/web.openwfe.org/display/
openwfe/Vamsee's+Newbie+Guide
In Magnolia, only 4 openwfe modules are needed:
- openwfe-applic: application classes
- openwfe-embed: clases related to run the embedeed version of the
engine (as opposed to standalone)
- openwfe-engine: the core classes of the engines
- openwfe-worklist: related to storing and handling items for list of
flow items.
In Magnolia, the persistence (through openwfe-jcr) was also
developed, meaning adding the required Java Content Repository
support for storage of workflow items and other data.
If OpenWFE may not be the only engine suited for workflow. JBPM, or
Bonita could also be integrated.
I was thinking about something a bit more generic ?
What do you think ?
Regards,
Nicolas,

Hi Niko,
Do you mind giving us some very brief information (like the
technologies, architectures) of OpenWFE? It seems that OpenWFE got
many modules , how many of them have you integrated to Magnolia?
Maybe if we have more information/idea to get started, the
community will be more involved.
Best regards,
Jonathan

Happy to hear it. Having much more experience with workflows than
with Appfuse, I'd be interested to get the feedback of developers
and users of Appfuse, and get a glimpse of what would be the
sexier way to do this, as well as the main tasks to make a smooth
integration.

I personally welcome this kind of integration to appfuse. I am
not familar with openwfe but a richer set of feature will make
appfuse more attractive.

Hi list,
This a forward from a short mail with Matt:
Looking at all the progress and achievements done in Appfuse
and its
light version, I was thinking more and more about some ways of
enabling
the integration of a workflow engine from the start.
I have been working with John Mettraux for some time now and
maybe it be
really nice to have the embedded version of his Openwfe engine
so any
framework could actually start using some BPM solution really
quickly.
I have also been working with Tom Bayens (JBPM) a bit so there
could be
also some choice at this level.
I've integrated an embedded version of Openwfe (http://
www.openwfe.org) into the Magnolia CMS (http://www.magnolia.info)
I'd say it's a real enabler for BPM solutions within Magnolia
and I'd say it'd be a really nice feature to integrate in appfuse.
Some quick flows that can be integrated are:
- review/notification/approval
- time-based publishing (agreed this can be done using
schedulers as well)
- tasks and delegates for users in a site (including inbox and
actions)
Some other thoughts on this ?
Niko,
