Great. Just wanted to see if you had seen it.

Have you seen Adalon? You may not want to reinvent the wheel. I've looked at Adalon and a couple of other tools, but I don't tend to find them intuitive to use. Ultimately I want to be able to design a complete Fusebox app in fUseML or some form of UML along with state diagrams and activity diagrams, and have it build the code based on that. For example, if I want to build an Actionfuse, I add the Actionfuse to the Diagram. Then I can add guard statements to it. I can choose whether those guard statements us an IF-ELSE-THEN structure, or a SWITCH structure. These guard statements can then contain action elements, display elements or further action elements. I can zoom in on any particular node in the application and work with it or zoom out. Here's an example of a possible ActionFuse and how I may want to resolve it. Actionfuse | Perform QueryFuse | Guard Statement 1 | |____ Include Display Page (header) | |____ Include Display Page (body content) | |____ Include Display Page (footer) | Guard Statement 2 | |____ Include Display Page (header) | |____ Include Display Page (body content) | |____ Include Display Page (footer) | Guard Statement 3 | |____ Go to another ActionFuse These guards would also allow to create expression inspections statements such as: Guard Statement 1: IF #variable# < #value1# Guard Statement 2: IF #variable# < #value2# Guard Statement 3: Else ... In the tool I'm building, you'd be able to simply drop in the ActionFuse, then add actions or process steps to it visually as nodes and leaf events using fUseML. I find that although Adalon allows you to build complex actions, you're no longer building visually when you do this, but you are working inside the detail form. When you view the diagram you should be able to see branching statements IMO and follow them around from a central interface. This is somewhat akin to the way Rational Rose operates. If you've ever seen or worked with Tango, then it's a little more like that. -- Jason Paul McCartan - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
