I have developed a basic workflow engine that I have found to be extremely useful in my current Struts applications. I developed it after finding shortcomings in the open source workflow stuff that was available at the time.
I know Craig mentioned a possible need for workflow stuff for Shale. I'm not sure if its along the lines of what he is interested in as I have not had the time to delve into Shale yet. In a nutshell, it provides a simple and flexible framework for implementing workflows. It has states, operations, conditions and transitions. It provides a default implementation that writes to a database (but that is not required.) I am currently refactoring it to make it a little easier to be used by others (borrowing from some of the structural ideas I've seen used in commons-chain). I'd be happy to share it for anyone who might want to examine/borrow the code. Also, I'm interested in possibly taking it open source (perhaps as commons-sandbox first.) Let me know if anyone is interested in working with me on this. sean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
