integration into portal framework

[Maximilian Gaerber]

Hi,

currently I am searching for a mature workflow system for integration into Cuyahoga Website Framework (www.cuyahoga-project.org).

As I've seen NetBPM generates needed html forms itself. Supposing I have modules (*.ascx) with existing forms, which are loaded dynamically by a central page, how would one best plug NetBPM into the system to let it control the flow?

Are there any other projects similar to the described architecture, that already use NetBPM?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Maximilian

Your idea sounds interesting.
You can use NetBpm without a web GUI. The existing web GUI is only an example of the functions of the core engine.
If have no idea how to plug NetBpm in Cuyahoga because I have no knowledge about Cuyahoga.

Have a look in the holiday example unit test. This is the easiest way to get an impression how the core api works (see development http://www.netbpm.org/faq.html#development ).

It is up to you if you are using parts of the webgui or build your own components that use the core api.

Thanks for the quick answer. I will look into the examples.
One thing, that you might be able to answer off the top of your head:

Currently NetBPM uses its own IoC container.
We are probably integrating WindsorContainer into Cuyahoga, so do you think NetBPM's container can be replaced by a custom one?

Thanks, Max

NetBpm needs the castle container (Windsor).
The Windsor container handles manly the transaction and database session.
