Runa WFE is an environment for JBoss jBPM workflow engine. It is a cross-platform end user solution for business process development and execution. Together Runa WFE and JBoss jBPM provide an easy to use business process management system.
Runa WFE is an open source project.
What is this project
Runa WFE provides:
* an end user GUI to define business processes without any coding: draw flowcharts, define roles and variables, lay out forms
* an end user GUI to load and execute processes
* an administrative interface to create and remove users/groups and grant rights
* a possibility of writing automatic "bots" that can participate in business processes
* a possibility to code new GUI elements, variable types, organizational structure functions etc. that extend existing Runa WFE components and will be available to end users through the GUI
Runa WFE makes it possible to integrate your diverse enterprise applications in a unified system, by using "bots" that run inside "bot stations".
GASwerk - Geronimo Application Server Assemblies
GASwerk provides production ready solutions based on proven OpenSource components.
Three server assemblies based on Apache Geronimo Application Server are available. Each of them solving a particular problem.
GASwerk SOA Stack is a powerful feature-rich SOA assembly for agile businesses that want to bring their IT department closer to their business processes. GASwerk SOA provides an Enterprise Service Bus for connectivity and an business process engine to model all the processes.
GASwerk Spring is focused on developer needs. It provides a Spring framework deployment feature. Equipped with GASwerk Spring, your Geronimo Application Server is able to directly deploy Spring Applications to your server.
GASwerk JMS is a Messaging Cluster based on Javas Messaging Service (JMS). It is a powerful, scalable solution for companies where message throughput and reliability is critical.
And of course you could use all the GASwerk pieces together or only parts of the whole stack.

Gabriel is a security framework to restrict actions of users.
Think about EJB security but without EJB.
Gabriel is a security framework for Java. By using access control lists and permissions, Gabriel enables components to check access to actions. On top of that Gabriel protects methods like EJB does but without the overhead. It distinguishes itself from other frameworks by the ease of use with a small API and by mapping method access to permissions instead of persons. This way the same permissions can be used to protect method access and to check which GUI elements to show based on user permissions.
The Security Annotation Framework (SAF) is an instance-level access control framework driven by Java 5 annotations. It can be easily integrated into Spring applications which primarily use the SAF to control access to their domain object instances. SAF security annotations define locations in the source code where the SAF shall perform permission checks at runtime. An annotation-driven approach to instance-level access control promotes the separation of an application’s security logic from its business logic. This significantly increases the testability and reusability of application components. It further allows the implementation of instance-level access control features into existing applications without modifying existing business logic.
GridGain is a computational grid framework. Its goal is to improve general performance of processing intensive applications by splitting and parallelizing the workload. In many cases GridGain is used to achieve better overall throughput, better scalability or availability of services.
Following picture illustrates the basic idea behind processing grids:
From the authors of the German book "JSF@work" (see http://jsfatwork.irian.at). A lightweight framework for J2EE web applications which makes a clean step out of session handling problems when using persistence frameworks. Also features like aspect oriented JSF are introduced. All provided by a best-practice web application.
