YAWL for Ruby is now a Project
Posted by tom December 7th, 2006
After some internal debate I’ve decided to make YAWL4R a project. I’ve opened the YAWL4R project at RubyForge and opened a website dedicated to YAWL for Ruby.
Please note that my demo application, about which I wrote earlier is not the product we’re trying to release. YAWL4R is to be a general purpose plugin / gem for Ruby (on Rails) and/or a standalone application, very much like the existing YAWL engine in Java.
YAWL for Ruby on Rails Part II
Posted by tom December 5th, 2006
Some time ago I wrote an article on YAWL for Ruby on Rails. YAWL stands for Yet Another Workflow Language. Recently the creators of YAWL seemed to have moved their brainchild under the wings of a foundation.
I’m still working on a Ruby implementation which, once finished probably will be open-sourced in the form of a Gem. Either to be used within rails as a plugin, or standalone for use within Ruby applications. Some time ago I also made a proof-of-concept Rails application, which has an example workflow (from the YAWL engine) and allows that to be instantiated into a ‘Case’ (a Workflow instance). I’m hereby opening up SVN access to that demo application.
