Atomic Workflows on the Bus

Using NetBeans BPEL Designer and GlassFishESB, a set of atomic workflows for the Alfresco content management system has been created, see the amsetwiki. There are 27 at the moment and the final number will probably reach around the 40 mark.

Technical documentation is available on the wiki and the projects will be ferried across to the AMSeT SourceForge repository.

Now, workflows are not usually referred to as atomic, being conceptually rather the opposite. However, these workflows in the context of Alfresco can be looked at as simple, synchronous operations involving users, groups, folders and permissions from which more extensive workflows can be created, both synchronous and asynchronous.

Some examples of these molecular workflows will be provided.
