Hi Andrew,
There are several commercial offerings, such as Zaplet (www.zaplet.com), and
Vignette's workflow in V7 now conforms to WfMC standards (but you probably
don't want to buy Vignette just for its workflow engine!).
Open source projects are Open Business Engine (on SourceForge), founded by
Anthony Eden, but also contributed to by Adrian Price, who is Technical
Director at Zaplet. Adrian was the chief architect of jFlow, the "world's
first" Java workflow engine, and his company, the Workflow Automation
Company Inc (WACI) got bought out by BEA and their product became Weblogic
Integration Studio. jFlow was not based on XPDL (the WfMC standard),
however, but a predecessor of it. Then there is the Open for Business
Project (also on SF) Workflow Engine; I'm not sure whether their workflow
engine can be used independently of the rest of the project, which seems to
be huge. I am assuming it can. Then if you look on the Enhydra site
(www.enhydra.org), you can find a link to the Enhydra Shark project (on
ObjectWeb Forge), which does not have any files released yet.
As you can see, I'm currently more interested in the open source offerings!
Regards,
Daniel Ansari
