Hi,

I don't want to propose writing a BPEL engine on top of Flowscript or Javaflow, but it would be interesting to get those nice sequence diagrams for documentation purpose. Something for Lepido?


I don't understand what you whant exactly. Can you explain it a little bit more detailed? Just a tool to paint these diagrams?

For my personal needs, a tool that generates those nice diagrams would be enough. I don't like to draw my programms. So having a view on flowscripts would be enough *for me*.


For Cocoon it would be nice to have a tool to paint flows, of course. OTOH, what should this be good for if there are standards like BPEL that bring this tools "for free". Integrating a BPEL engine into Cocoon should be possible.

Well, maybe this is a question for dev@cocoon but what's the selling point of "Cocoon control flow" in the long run? Is it just another, non-standardized possibility to orchastrate services or does it offer more (apart from that that it gives me the possibility to write and not to draw my flows; plus writing instead of drawing BPEL is one of my nightmares ;-) )? Just some RT ...
