Thanks for the answers and status update John, plenty for me to investigate.

I have to admit to being a complete novice in this workflow and BPM arena. My short term purpose is just a proof of concept to demonstrate information capture and web service calls in a workflow. The human interaction with the workflow (project is basically a call-centre environment. passing an issue from one team to another, escalation to management if the issue is not complete in a specific time period) of are actually more interesting to demonstrate than the web service orchestration. Am I missing much by not going the BPEL route? (what does it give me? more automatic handling of web service calls and compensation logic?) I need an environment that is easy to play around with and prototype in, not necessarily something that will run in production in the short term. JBoss is out of the question due to learning curve. Long term I'd probably have to look at Windows Workflow Foundation, but short term I don't have a machine capable of running the development environment. If it's not appropriate to use openwferu for this proof of concept, I still have a couple of other low priority projects that could benefit from workflow (a helpdesk issue tracker and an expense claim processor) - I'll probably investigate openwferu for these.
