Hi,
Not much is happening on the workflow component at the moment (see the
commons-dev list for a discussion on this - basically, Craig is a bit busy
with a new job at the moment).
However, it is certainly usable in its present form. The web integration is
quite good - I don't think too much would be required to get it working in
a Struts environment (haven't actually done that myself). I've used it to
process JMS messages. I wrote the message processing engine myself, running
as a standalone process, but if I were to do it again, I'd use the
messenger component and have it running in an application server - that way
I could use the same activity and step code to process messages either from
JMS or from HTTP requests, which would be pretty cool.
The main thing Craig would like to see done is to have a better scripting
language, probably based on or similar to the JSTL expression language.
That wouldn't necessarily affect any code you'd write, just the definitions
of the workflow processes.

Please respond to
"Struts Developers
List"
Hi,
I'm currently working on a project in which we will most probably use
struts
as MVC Framework. I've seen your plans for a workflow management module. As
we will need such module in your application, one of our possibility is to
contribute to your module... but it depends on the investment needed to do
it. We have short deadlines and we have an alternative with developping
ourself such module.
In order for us to chose the rigth alternative, could you give me an idea
of
the status of the development of this module and the power (man*days)
needed
to finish it ?
Thanks.
