Workflow Suggestion

[Paul Daly]

I recently came across Barracuda and although I have not had a chance
to review it in detail I did read the article that compares it to
Struts. I was intrigued by Barracuda because of the use of XML and the
strict separation of the View and Logic layers. I did not see a date
on the comparison article so if you have already developed or started
to develop a work flow architecture I apologize for taking up your
time.

Please consider reviewing the open source work flow project we
initiated a few years ago while working at AT&T/Comcast. It may not be
exactly what you had in mind but is relatively small and could be
modified with little effort. The project is called JXBeans,
http://jxbeans.org/, and is based loosely on a state machine. This is
not to be confused with XBeans. Everything is based on XML and
transformed using XSLT.  The work flow can created using java files or
a simple editor we created. I provide a simple code example if you
like.

Regards
Paul

Hi,

there is currently no notion of workflow in Barracuda, except if you
consider the event model as a kind of "workflow", which it truly is
not...

I can see where workflow rules could benefit Baracuda, in a scenario
where you want to prevent an event to be fired before another (in a
stateful application where it wouldn't make sense to fired page2 before
page1 did it's job).
Is this what you have in mind ?

No work has been done on the subject in Barracuda for now...

Personaly, I am working currently evaluating OSWorkflow as a workflow
engine in my app. So I will have a look at jxbeans :)

Reagards,
Franck
