[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: extending form / task functionality

[andyredhead]

Sorry to barge in at such a late stage, however I think that putting GUI specific information into the process definition xml is a mistake.

There are many options for building an application presentation layer, some of which would make no use whatsoever of a form definition held in the process definition (one of the projects I'm working on at the moment has an applet client).

I think that the core jBPM engine should provide interfaces for allowing access to context variables and the state of tasks (which it already does).

Going beyond that is starting to mix concerns between presentation and flow control...

So adding the form definitions might be nice for a perticular project but will be (at best) unnecessary clutter for many others...
