Workflow engine

Question

I am new to workflow engine how it work and how I can develop it; I have A LMS (Learning management Service) site. I need to have a dynamic workflow. Can you please sugest me how I can develop it.

Answer 1

Have a look at ezComponent' Workflow Engine. It has extensive documentation. Or you can have a look at Sebastian Bergmann's Diploma Thesis about Workflow Engines that covers the nitty gritty academic details that went into said component.

Answer 2

It may not be very easy to come up with one very quickly. probably you can try some open source/free engines, and see if that fits your requirement.

Have a look at this: http://java-source.net/open-source/workflow-engines

Reading about them, selecting one of them to do initial trails will be a difficult choice. but that's how things are, atleast your work of coming up with one saved, now it's up to you to choose one of these appropriate to your requirement!
