The Imixs Workflow project
Today I want to talk about the Imixs workflow project which is under development for more than 5 years. Since the project is based on the Java Enterprise Edition 5 it becomes more stable, flexible and serious. Version 3.0.x based on GlassFish 3 and JEE6 makes the project very powerful and robust. There were a number of simplifications which had made it much more easy to integrate the imixs workflow engine into JEE projects.
Now I am working on version 3.1.0 which is available in a snapshot-release. This new version has some improvements in the Imixs Workflow engine which is the core of the project. But also in this new version, I try to figure out a way to develop JEE web applications in a leaner way without heavy JSF libraries like RichFaces (which is really great stuff). My idea for now is to work with JSF 2.0 in its reference implementation. As this version provides ajax support in a standardized way I believe that rich web applications can be implemented with more usage of javascript - after all jQuery.
So for now everything looks pretty cool in the new version 3.1.0 which is also used in the next version of the Marty framework. Marty is a general workflow framework to simplify the development of business applications based on the imixs workflow project. The result of all this work can be seen in the Imixs Office Workflow project. This project site is only available in german language, but I plan also to provide an international home page.
In the future I will post the status of the current development on this blog.

A workflow consists of a sequence of concatenated (connected) steps. Emphasis is on the flow paradigm, where each step follows the precedent without delay or gap and ends just before the subsequent step may begin. This concept is related to non overlapping tasks of single resources.

But bworkflow.com seems not to be an open source project. So it isn’t comparable to the Imixs Workflow project
