I suggest a workflow as a service. I have a database where i define all workflows for all databases.
I have something like this way in a Lotus Notes environment. I get away with it very nicely. :) If i keep control fields in my record like, readers authors step next step formula code to execute in this step etc then i just call the webservice and send my document as a paramenter and get a recalculated document. Is this feasible in web2py? thank you António 2012/3/1 yamandu <[email protected]> > Just one resource I found interesting: http://workflowpatterns.com/ > > Em terça-feira, 7 de fevereiro de 2012 23h58min19s UTC-2, mart escreveu: > >> Something to think about if effort is put on this (just a suggestion). >> You may want to consider the importance of 'roles' in an implemented >> wf engine, since user to role interaction should probably be key in a >> wf model (or at least as important as having the ability to move work >> items around). >> >> Just my 2 cents, >> Mart >> >> On Feb 7, 5:35 pm, Richard Vézina <[email protected]> wrote: >> > From what I understand you can do just that, but without reinventing >> the >> > wheel by designing and implementing your own solution. >> > >> > Richard >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 5:27 PM, Ross Peoples <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > > I don't know workflow engines in the general sense that well.
