WfMOpen 介绍
WfMOpen是WfMC和OMG中所谓工作流设施（workflow facility） (工作流引擎)的J2EE实现。工作流通过扩展的XPDL描述。
WfMOpen is a J2EE based implementation of a workflow facility (workflow
engine) as proposed by the Workflow Management Coalition
(WfMC) and the Object Management Group
(OMG).
The workflow component is based on a set of JAVA interfaces that define an
API for a workflow management facility. The
basic “omgcore”
interfaces follow OMG’s Workflow Management Facility
Specification, V1.2
very closely, while making some modifications to
adapt the CORBA service to the established
design practices for a Java API.
Workflows are specified using WfMC’s XML Process Definition Language
(XPDL) with
some
extensions.
Although WfMOpen has its roots in the above mentioned workflow standards, the
actual implementation transcends the Traditional domain of workflow engines.
By design, WfMOpen provides excellent scalability and supports commodity
integration technologies, including – but not limited to – SOAP. The workflow
component may therefore be used as the core for any process based application
implementation and is well suited to provide solutions for BPM (Business
Process Management) related jobs.
