Hi guys,
I have been following this project up closely and I have tried out the new jBPM5.1. This is a project that I have a special interest and that I have accompanied for quite some time
I feel that there are some features that would be important in future releases for the jBPM,
1. Decoupling the java classes from the BPMN2 xml - Currently the all the task objects that have code in them, this code is being written in the XML, my feeling is that any kind of code should be decoupled from the XML and created in a separate java files.
2. Runtime versioning – I think that at this time there isn’t a way to version process at runtime, I mean the ability to have two versions of the same process and be able to run them both.
3. Easier way to configure – One of the things that I have struggled is configuration, it is still very time consuming to configure jBPM5.1. For example, configuring persistence, besides configuring persistence, hibernate and testDS1 xml’s I also hat to configure persistence file in jbpm-human-task-5.1.0.M1.jar file.
4. Detailed information – I know that in time the information will get up to speed and that the lack of it has to do with this project being fairly recent, but an upgrade on user and development information would be very important and a way to consolidate the project.
I hope my feedback helps and hope to see future developments from this project.
Kind regards.
