[rules-users] Web services integration for Drools Flow

[Ajay.Gautam at rbs.com]

Hello,

I am evaluating a few workflow engines for an up coming project. Drools flow is the first one I am looking at.

Question: Is there any existing web services integration with Drools Flow? Specifically:

1. ability to call a service (Similar to "Email" work item)
2. ability to trigger a flow based on web services input (listener)

I could write a web services wrapper around Drools Flow, but am wondering if there is an existing solution for it. A quick Google search did not reveal anything much.

PS: Not looking at jBPM - don't want to get into deploying and maintaining a J2EE container. For our (simple) purposes, something like tomcat would suffice.

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ajay
