Business-Process-Management with Cocoon?

Hi!

Can anybody point me to Open Source BPM Systems using comfortable user 
(web-) interfaces to design business processes in standard BPL. In a new 
project starting next week we need such a tool to define our business 
processes consisting off several Web Service calls.

One tool I found is Twister. For informations about it look at 
http://www.smartcomps.org/twister/.

Does anybody have experiences in BPMS and can link me to free 
alternatives. Maybe there exists a Cocoon based BPM System? Last we 
would prefer because we started using Cocoon about 2 years ago.

Thanks for any hint!

Markus

The verdict - enhydra shark rules!  If you're looking into workflow -
definitely check out shark.

Oliver,
Thanks for the input...

My jury is still out on this (xpdl)... I haven't made my yet through
the entire spec yet.

consider what ?
this excerpt from Baeyens' "state of workflow" paper?

<insert resource="http://www.jbpm.org/state.of.workflow.html">
Why the term 'activity' should be banned...
Process definitions are usually expressed in terms of activities. I
think *that* is the main reason of all the confusion in the workflow
space and therefore a bad idea. I'll tell you why: the term activity
blurs the distinction between a state and an action. A state (aka
wait-state) in a process specifies a dependency upon an external
actor. At process execution time, this means that the workflow engine
has to wait until the external actor notifies the WFMS that the state
is finished. E.g. waiting for an approval. An action is a piece of
programming logic to be executed by the WFMS upon a specified event
that occurs during process execution. The WFMS initiates the execution
of the action on a specified event during process execution. E.g.
sending an email when a state is assigned to an actor. As you can see,
state and actions are really different so using the same name for
these concepts is a bad habit. My proposal is to avoid the term
'activity' and replace it by either 'state' or 'action'.
</insert>

I'm assuming this is what you mean when you say petri nets are at the
core.  I understand where he's coming from and states/actions seems a
little more intuitive than activities, but I don't see this as a major
problem like he does.  Again the jury's still out on this in my mind. 
I have yet to fully evaluate shark, and that's my main reasoning
behind investigating xpdl.

we've actually been evaluating open source workflow engines.  I
focused on osworkflow for a while and was rather indifferent about it
and have now (just the last day) started investigating enhydra shark. 
So far, it seems to be the best, but I haven't played with it too much
yet.

Hi all,

thanks for all your answers at this time. Meanwhile we analyse different 
Open Source implementations of the BPEL "standard". We know that there 
are different specifications of business process languages. But from our 
point of view the only relevant to become a general standard ist BPEL 
that is a mix between IBM and Microsoft specification. Almost any 
commercial BPMS tool implements this standard too.

For anyone who is interested in this topic there is another Open Source 
tool that implements the BPEL standard that is called ActiveBPEL 
(http://www.activebpel.org).

Hi Markus,

it is a late answer, but if you did not yet make up your mind about an 
BPM Tool - this is a very serious desicion to do - , go to
http://www.jbpm.org and check the extensive sources about the subject.
Although the site is about one solution, that is more and more mentioned 
as to be the most promissing, I suggest, that you follow some of the 
discussions you can find there under 
http://www.jbpm.org/state.of.workflow.html. Check the links at the end 
of this article to get more opinions.
For me the most important conclusion is, that it is important to 
understand, that there is *NO* standard BPM language at the moment. Most 
of the existing (XML) languages
are not really sufficiant enough to be a real standard.

good look,
:olli

You need to get a subversion client, e.g. tortoisesvn.tigris.org, and 
then use it to get download the latest source from subversion, from 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/branches/BRANCH_2_1_X/

a brief answer, but I hope it helps.

I don't think so. I think that the latest Cocoon with SVN has had some 
fixes for 1.5, but I'm pretty sure 2.1.6 won't yet work.

RE: Cocoon 2.1.6 - Build problems!!!

Posted by km...@hotmail.com.
Hi,

I tried following your previous recommendations of how to build the 2.1.6
source on JDK 1.5, however I get the following build error:

C:\Java\cocoon-2.1.6-src\cocoon-2.1.6>build
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

Seemingly it is unable to open and process the cocoon.roles file? But I can
open it by typing the exact same path into my file/internet browser,
including the "file:" protocol!

Line 43 of compile-build.xml is

<javac srcdir="${java}" destdir="${build.dest}" debug="${compiler.debug}"
optimize="${compiler.optimize}" deprecation="${compiler.deprecation}"
target="${target.vm}" source="${source.vm}" nowarn="${compiler.nowarn}"
compiler="${compiler}" classpathref="classpath"/>

But I assume source param is set correctly, since I have the latest 2.1.6
source distribution?

Will greatly appreciate any help :-)

PS: I'm running JDK 1.5.x (J2SE5.0?)

Kristian

PS: Is it perhaps the Ant version 1.6.2 that is 2 blame?

Re: Cocoon 2.1.6

Posted by Mark Eggers <it...@yahoo.com>.
I've built cocoon 2.1.6 and the latest 2.1.x SVN release using jdk 1.4.2
and 1.5.0_01 under Tomcat 5.5.6.  There are some tweaks you need to do
to tools/tasks/init-build.xml in order to compile with jdk 1.5.
Basically you have to change the target.vm and target lines to equal
1.5.  However in local.build.properties, you still have to set source.vm
to 1.4.

Unfortunately, there are still some resulting issues with the build.
JSP pages as shown by the JSP samples block come up blank.  One of the
Groovy samples (groovy markup generator) failed with a null pointer
exception.

There may be other issues, but I've not run all of the samples.

I also tried running cocoon 2.1.6 built under jdk 1.4.2 and Tomcat
5.5.6.  The JSP pages came up blank, and I didn't test the Groovy markup
generator.

Finally, I tried a recent SVN 2.1.x version built using jdk 1.4.2 and
running under Tomcat 5.5.6 with jdk 1.5.0_01.  The results were the
same.

1. Blank output page for the JSP sample block
   <html><body></body></html>

2. Null pointer exception with the Groovy markup example
   Caused by: org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Groovy:
      java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException
         at org.codehaus.groovy.bsf.GroovyEngine.exec(GroovyEngine.java:167)

My environment for jdk 1.5:

Fedora Core 3 2.6.9-1.681_FC3
jdk 1.5.0_01-b08
Tomcat 5.5.6 with the changes made to web.xml to use Sun's javac
cocoon 2.1.x 122882M or cocoon 2.1.6

my environment for jdk 1.4:

Fedora Core 3 2.6.9-1.681_FC3
jdk 1.4.2_06-b03
Tomcat 5.0.28
cocoon 2.1.x 122882M or cocoon 2.1.6

In short, I think there are still some challenges with Cocoon 2.1.x, jdk 1.5.0, and Tomcat 5.5.x.

/mde/
just my two cents . . . .

Cocoon 2.1.6 with Tomcat 5.5.4. I used a 1.4.2 JDK to compile cocoon, 
and a 1.5 to run tomcat.

Rgds.

Apologies, forgot to say I've built cocoon with a 1.4.2 JDK.

Re: Cocoon 2.1.6

how can you run tomcat 5.5.4 without jdk 1.5?

I do it every day, except I have the 1.5 jdk. Don't know about jre.

RE: Business-Process-Management with Cocoon?

Posted by Mikael Björn <mi...@mibj01.dyndns.org>.
Markus,
you should consider a closer look at WFMOpen at
http://wfmopen.sourceforge.net/

I've been using it for a over a year now and it only gets better! It uses
WfMC's
XPDL language as the definition language. It's is actually the reason I
started to
look at Cocoon in the first place... ;-)

It's surely a winner!

There is a great graphical tool called JAWE that you can use to build and
manipulate 
XPDL. You can find it at: http://jawe.objectweb.org/ (It's actually a part
of a big
OSS solution called Enhydra and it's Shark BPL solution. Check that out at 
http://shark.objectweb.org/)

If you're into BPEL as your Process Definition Language I would suggest that
you have 
a look at bexee (http://bexee.sourceforge.net/) or ActiveBPEL
(http://www.activebpel.org/)...

Or if you're using JBoss (works great with Cocoon) have a look at JBpm at
http://jbpm.org/

I hope that this was enough help to get you started!

Any questions? Mail me!
