It seem like SCXML can be used to serve as a workflow engine for my application. Is there a good sample workflow application using SCXML?

The SCXML implementation of the Shale dialog manager is a fairly thin wrapper over the Commons SCXML runtime to provide Shale dialog management facilities. The current implementation is geared towards single user scenarios -- i.e., it does not provide any first-class support for collaborative dialogs (beyond parent-child dialog associations). Collaboration could be achieved (externally) by leveraging the various dialog listeners, and tying together various simultaneous dialogs in an application-specific, collaborative way. In theory, it is possible to architect principled solutions for parallelism (and/or some notion of collaborative dialogs) for web applications using the SCXML <parallel> construct. However, that will need work. -Rahul > Thanks for the help in advance. > > Best, > Amit > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
