A "store" is usually a a short designation for "workitem store", you may think of it as a "workitem list", a "worklist", a "tasklist". A "fei" is a "flow expression id". Think of it as a "unique identifier for a workitem". (it's in fact a unique identifier for a atomic piece of business process instance, usually, when found outside of the workflow engine, it's the flow expression id of a ParticipantExpression). > I read some mails regarding 'mano' example of 'analysts' and > 'creatives' but was stuck on what does 'store' and 'fei' mean. > > It would be great if there is a beginners guide (and I mean a REAL > beginners guide - where even the terminology and architecture is > explained).

Don't ask yourself what the community can do for you, but ask yourself what you can do for the community. Meanwhile, your questions are welcome on this list. > My requirement is very close to 'mano_tracker' example but everything > will come in real time - i.e. Participants list will come from DB, > workitems from DB and so on... > > We are going through the documentation on OpenWFE as well as Vamsse's > tutorial. > > any pointers will be appreciated. Haven't you read the quickstart ? http://openwferu.rubyforge.org/quickstart.html It's a good starting point, and it doesn't mention any "store" or "fei". Instead of complaining about the cryptic nature of the documentation why don't you tell exactly which point in it you don't understand (links, links) so that we can go and fix/enhance the doc ? An open source attitude will be much appreciated, meanwhile, as already said, questions are welcome, best regards, -- John Mettraux -///- http://jmettraux.openwfe.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenWFEru users" group.
