WorkFlow

[Vijay K Dasari <kr...@ecarey.com>]

Hi,

We are looking for a FrameWork or a Design Pattern to support the Flow among
Sturts Actions (WorkFlow). I found a proposal from STRUTS at
http://struts.apache.org/proposals/workflow.html
which looks promosing. But this document says that this work is stalled. And
they suggested in looking at JELLY. Does any one know the staus of this
Proposal or Any other framework which supports WorkFlow among pages ( JSP's
and Actions ).

Thanks in Advance,
Kris.

I don't think Jelly is what you want.  Jelly is basically an XML 
based scripting framework.  It basically works like Ant, where Java 
classes are configured to be called when certain XML elements are 
encountered.  There's nothing specific to recommend it over any other 
scripting language which can be plugged into Java, except maybe if 
you are working on data which is already kind of XML-oriented.

You may want to have a look at Don Brown's struts-flow, which is 
still kind of young -- but I don't think Don would consider it 
stalled.  ;-)  http://struts.sourceforge.net/struts-flow/index.html 
He might even be interested in getting some more people involved in 
developing it!

Ongoing discussion on this topic is probably better suited to the 
user@struts.apache.org list; dev@struts is more about building out 
the framework than about using it.

Cheers,
	Joe
