Hello, I'm currently in the process of evaluating workflow solutions for our product and have some questions about con:cern. First, how hard do you think it will be for an English only reading/speaking developer to get acquainted with con:cern? Second, how active is the con:cern project? Third, how do you handle "compensation" in con:cern? Some workflow engines provide the ability to undo actions, others provide the ability to define compensating branches to execute in the case of an error, etc. Fourth, how well will con:cern integrate with a Swing based rich client? In our arrangement, there will be a server (across the internet) that drives the workflow. When a user logs in (via their Swing rich client), they will be able to pull up a task list containing tasks waiting for human intervention. Of course, these tasks will be from workflows that are currently in progress. Fifth, what kind of support does con:cern provide for assigning tasks/steps/actions/whatever to a particular role, group, or user? What would be really cool is if con:cern even went farther than that and provided a way to query outstanding tasks by various criteria (role, department, etc). Thanks, Andy |
