re:What's cons and pros of using RUNA WFE and using JPBM directly?
JBoss jBPM is a workflow engine while RUNA WFE is a workflow environment.
The differences between environment and engine is the same as differences between car and car engine.
workflow engine is a application/library that provides means for process execution to environment (e.g WFMOpen, JBOSS jBPM, Bossa are engines).
environment provides:
user interface - form player, tasklist (check our online demo at http://wf.runa.ru/English/OnLineDemo/Online_demo.html to see how it looks like)
integration means (RUNA WFE provides integration with LDAP/MS Active Directory)
bots/robots - kind of applications that act like users in business processes
etc...
If you want to build you own workflow environment from scratch you need engine (unless you want to build engine, or even OS from scratch too).
If you want to automate business processes of your customer you can take RUNA WFE or some commercial environment like Oracle or IBM.
Could you provide success story of using RUNA WFE?
What's cons and pros of using RUNA WFE and using JPBM directly?
Thanks.
