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

[tom.baeyens@jboss.com]

crossleyjuan: i agree with you, a process can be seen as the controller in the MVC pattern.

in my proposal, the process contains a tech neutral form identifier.  the process execution doesn't do anything with the form identifier.   Every UI technology is free to use the form identifier as it sees appropriate.

the benefit is that you get a more compact notation in simple scenarios.  also, this approach covers most use cases.  in case each UI can live with the same form identifier (and it's own way of resolving this name to a specific form), this would cover most use cases imho.  in case you want multiple different form identifiers per task, you can always introduce a forms.xml at that time.

...all this not to prove you wrong.  on the contrary:  to inform you of the previous discussions and reasonings on this topic so that you can think along.
