I wonder if you have looked at the SCXML Apache project http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/scxml/. This offers a very robust implementation of a an FSM specified in XML. I'm thinking you could implement your persistent FSM in this and then query it from Cocoon.
I might look into it myself although I recognise that continuations and Flow eliminate the need for an FSM at the web navigation level, Warrell -----Original Message----- From: Dev at weitling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 March 2007 12:12 To: Users at Cocoon Subject: Misusing Flowscript & Continuations Hi, I want to model a kind of finite state machine elegantly via a Flowscript. My problem: The whole process is not done in one session but could last over multiple logins over days or weeks. To be more precise: I have an object several users will touch one by one, each changing the state of the object. Depending on the input the state could be reset or just changed. Because the process flow is rather easy I would like to use the also easy continuation concept, but more independent from concrete pipelines or those nasty short timeouts. Any idea how to "misuse" FlowScript is appreciated :-) Florian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
