Workflow Reloaded : Moving to OSWorkflow
I have been trying to model a workflow for one of my applications. I started with Bossa, but after getting stuck using parts of its API, I was well on my way to designing my own workflow engine using Bossa's Petri Net abstraction, until a colleague pointed out that I was trying to re-invent something for which solid, mature implementations already existed in the open-source world, and that, down the road, other developers would curse me for having stuck them with having to maintain this component.
Intalio|Workflow is an integrated human workflow suite based on the new BPEL4People extensions and compatible with any JSR 168 portal. Because it offers an AJAX-based XForms implementation, it gives workflow participants a productive and engaging user experience, while remaining compatible with any major web browser in use today. Our workflow suite is directly powered by our process server, allowing you to develop your own workflow patterns.
