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*.
Have you looked at GMF [1]? The purpose of this new project is to allow
the fast building of graphical editors for "DSL" (domain specific
languages). This is exactly what you need to draw nice diagrams. Have a
look also at the second name of the interested parties of the proposal :-)
as you write below, I don't expect drawing the diagrams to be the difficult part
either ;-)
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.
So this means another flow engine implementation, as the current ones
being based on normal programming languages, creating a diagram from the
code seems a difficult task.
yep, but Torsten's comments are encouraging
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 ...
Yup, definitely a RT for cocoon-dev ;-)
Will move it over as I'm interested in what others think.
