Hola,
I was thinking of using chiba to create xml documents that can be send
through an ebXML server. That is going to be fairly simple, since I've
adapted the ebxml server to accept documents/messages through a jms
queue and adapting chiba to have a JMSSubmissionHandler should not be to
difficult.
So I was thinking a little further. Separate xform documents will in
many cases (at leas in mine) be part of a larger process. Some will be
handled externally, hence the ebXML server and some internally. In all
case, there is a kind of flow and tasklists involved. To me this sounds
like BPM/WF. I'm looking into jBPM at the moment to see if it can fit my
needs or be adapted.
your not alone with this feeling ;)
we discuss this idea for quite some time in different scenarios. it does
care how you name it: workflow, process-, bpm-engine... it should be
significantly easy to establish a thin layer above Chiba/XForms to build
complete applications with complex flow logic.
Did anyone try something like this before?
we haven't actually found time (and money ;) to do this but are highly
interested in any efforts in that direction. we have quite a bit of the
plan that would be needed in our heads and our distant vision is to
build such a platform:
you use graphical high-level tools (maybe SVG) to model your flows and
datastructures, build some xforms for manipulation of data and
implementation of use cases and get complete business apps without a
single line of coding and no knowledge of programming. - of course it's
still a vision but if you stumble about some adventurous investors ... ;)
Joern
Ronald
