workflow engine

[Jack Liu-2]

Hi, all
What's the recommended workflow engine in OFBiz?
Is it Shark?


Best Regards,

Jack Liu

[Michael Xu (xudong)]

As I know, ofbiz uses its own workflow engine. You can get more information
here: http://ofbiz.apache.org/docs/workflow.html

Actually not, OFBiz gave up on workflow engines. Shark was implemented last but never really used in OFBiz. Instead of using a
workflow engine, OFBiz use an Event Driven Architecture (EDA) and ECAs (SECA, EECA, MECA) are used in OFBiz to drive the workflow. I
will create a FAQ for that as this question come over and over

Perhaps you can try our OFBiz-jBPM component, it's in LGPL.

Good luck,

JBPM is a very popular open source workflow engine.
But JBPM uses hibernate to implement its persistence, which is different from OFBiz.
So how do you manage transaction?

Thank you for your response!

It is pretty easy to mix Service/Entity Engine and Hibernate code and  
have them participate in the same transaction as they both use JTA...  
just make sure they are both referring to the same UserTransaction and  
TransactionManager objects.

Oops,

Now I use OSworkflow as workflow engine in my project because it's very flexible.
Thank you all the same.

[zhiyongcui]

The project processes has too many related jar, is there a way I can add it all?
or how to get a sample.process file I can upload in my jbpm component.

[zhiyongcui]

Hi Shi:
 I compile the processes project and get a file named sample-process.zip in target folder. But as I upload this file ,there is no response to me .

[BJ Freeman]

since this file is not supported by the SVN, I suggest you contact him
directly.

Hi Shi:
Some "cn.langhua.ofbiz.jbpm.tools.jbpm." in controller.xml should be changed to "org.langhua.ofbiz.jbpm.tools.jbpm."
File jbpm_ofbiz.tld also have these questions.
