Hi,
i'm currenty evaluating jBPM for my company (40 000 people).
jBPM overview tells us :
"One piece of research is especially valuable - Workflow Patterns. Prof. Wil van der Aalst has created a catalogue of workflow patterns analogue with the design patterns by the 'Gang of Four'. These patterns are a organised set of concepts that are distilled from the study of a wide range of commercial workflow products. JBoss jBPM's internal model is created with these workflow patterns in mind. "
That's fine !!!
But which patterns are supported ???
Here is my checklist :
Control flow pattern :
Sequence
Parralel Split
Synchronization
Exclusive choice
Simple Merge
Multi Choice
Synchronizing Merge
Multi-merge
Discriminator
N-out-of-M Join
Arbitrary cycles
Implicit Termination
Multiple instances without synchronization
Multiple instances with a Priori Design Time knowledge
Multiple instances with a Priori Run Time knowledge
Multiple instances without a Priori Run Time knowledge
Deferred Choice
Interleaved Parallel Routing
Milestone
Cancel Activity
Cancel Case
Resouce creation pattern :
Direct Allocation
Role-Based Allocation
Deferred Allocation
Authorisation
Separation of Duties
Case Handling
Retain familiar
Capablity-Based Allocation
History-Based Allocation
Organisational Allocation
Automatic Execution
Visibility patterns :
Configurable Unallocated Work Item Visibility
Configurable Allocated Work Item Visibility
It would be fine if jBPM Overview displays a matrix with patterns and jBPM compliance. (Bonita does ...)
Thanks a lot !
