[opencms-dev] Re: OSWorkflow with OpenCms 6.2

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Dear Shi,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'm also involved in an enterprise opencms project, where we have to choose
and implement a workflow engine for our client to perform their editorial
workflow definition(s).

After some investigations and discussions with my team members it seems to
me that jBPM is one of the most mature and suitable workflow engines among
open source implementations.

I hope that we could suggest the integration of jBPM to OpenCms Experts at
Alkacon and setup a "Proof of Concept" for integrating jBPM into OpenCms and
help funding this project through our own and through our client's
resources.

Would it be possible to know more about the current status of your
implementation and possibly help funding the further development of this
project together with you?

Kind Regards,
Arash

Hi Arash,

Sorry for my late reply. 

Why jbpm?
My client asked us to complete a website in OpenCMS and support workflow.
The client evaluated 4 major open source workflow engines including jbpm,
shark, activbpel and osworkflow, and built a score board (in a method
similar to Mckinsey does). Finally, jbpm is chosed.

> which advantages has jBPM over OSWorkflow?
jBPM's better sides:
1. Swinlane concept.
2. BPEL Standard posibility.
3. Graphic designer.
4. Workflow definition version.

OSWorkflow's better sides:
1. Securtity.
2. Flexibility.

> Has your jBPM implementation something to do with jBoss jBPM ???
Nothing changes in jBPM. The integration is implemented by Action, Comment
and Variable in processdefinition. My implementation only supports swinlane
expression.

Kind regards,

Shi Yusen/Beijing Langhua Ltd.
