[Obe-developer] OBE-1.0 GA is Available

[ADRIAN P. <ad...@bt...>]

Good Day OBE Developers,
 
 I am pleased to announce that as of 21st June, 2006 the final GA build of OBE-1.0 is available.
 
 The Open Business Engine is a Java workflow engine implementing Workflow Management Coalition Open Standards (WfMC: XPDL, WAPI, Auditing). Highly modular and configurable, it suits J2EE or embedded deployment. Supports integration via Web Services etc.
 
 The most significant differences from the OBE-1.0RC1 build are as follows:
 - cleanup and re-coding following an extensive automated code inspection courtesy of IntelliJ's excellent IDEA-5.1.2 Java IDE.
 - HTML documentation reformatted to eliminate superfluous whitespace.
 - Enhanced animated graphics in doc header.
 - Integrated Torque for generating database-specific DDL. Should minimize DB porting issues.
 - Moved SPI runtime model interfaces and package validator to obeclient-api.jar to allow system attributes to be referenced via OUT and INOUT parameters in XPDL.
  - NewEmployee workflow now sets process name to that of the associated employee; layout & graphic regenerated using JaWE-2.0.4.
 - Migrated JSF Worklist to MyFaces-1.1.3 + various cleanups & enhancements.
 - WorkflowEngine now prevents state changes for work items and activities whose containing entity is suspended.
 
 Good luck and best regards,
 
 Adrian Price
 Architect & Lead
 The Open Business Engine
