I tried to look at OSWorkflow a while back and found it to be pretty
much not what we want. It is very user driven and it was very hard to
get it to work in a way that Continuum needed it to.
OSWorkflow is perfect for JIRA and the like, but not for server
applications. My current bet is on the stuff from JBoss. ODE seems to be
more on a BPEL level. ServiceMix used to have something for Java-based
workflow composition (bean flow was it?) that looked pretty much what I
was looking for at that time.

ODE might be interesting if the things being orchestrated were intended
to be remotable services.

I am inclined to "+1" something comprehensively documented and used.
I imagine the workflow compositions to be done by the user and be
exposed as service for invocation/monitoring/management. A WF engine
based on petri nets would be neat. Also, I think it might be a better
idea to persist the WF definitions to an underlying store (DB).

For the moment, I'm -0 for plexus-spe, probably because I don't know one
project that use it and we don't have a documentation about it.
For next versions of Continuum, I'd like we use external tools known by
users so it will be more easy to grow our community.
An other point before to choose a tool is to define what will be the
role of
the workflow in the core. Will it be use only in one Continuum node
or will
can be explode worflow steps on each node when Continuum will be used
with
the distributed mode.

well, no need to do anything from scratch with the plexus-spe stuff,

trygve has used it in a few places.

Yeah, my idea was to refactor and wrap up current tasks/actions in the
build controller into a workflow and get that to work first.
There are other possibilities, of course, having user defined build
workflows and ability to invoke them remotely.
Any suggestions for a WF engine? I am not sure if implementing
something from scratch is a good idea.

probably a good idea to bring this up now
originally I think the idea was to implement workflow with the
plexus-spe
component which is in the plexus sandbox but that is up for
debate, or
whoever takes the bull by the horns and started implementing. :)
cheers!

Hello everyone!
As a part of architecture rework and having a workflow engine at
the
heart of Continuum, we need to decide on a Workflow engine
implementation that we can use.
Does anyone know any WF engines to put forth as candidates (+
features
provided, how we can leverage them for Continuum... etc)
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Rahul
