Open Source Workflow Engines in Java
| jBpm is a flexible, extensible workflow management system. Business processes , expressed in a simple and powerfull language and packaged in process archives, serve as input for the jBpm runtime server. jBpm bridges the gap between managers and developers by giving them a common language : the jBpm Process definition language (jPdl). |

| con:cern is a workflow engine based on an extended case handling approach. A process is described as a set of activities with pre- and postconditions. An activity is executed when its preconditions are met. It manipulates the process item, thereby creating postconditions. The process flow is determined at run-time. |

| Werkflow is a flexible, extensible process- and state-based workflow engine. It aims to satisfy a myriad of possible workflow scenarios, from enterprise-scale business processes to small-scale user-interaction processes. Using a pluggable and layered architecture, workflows with varying semantics can easily be accomodated. Processes can revolve around documents, objects or any other entity. The core werkflow engine can be accessed through a Java API, EJB, JMS, SOAP and other conduits. |

| The Open for Business Workflow Engine is based on the WfMC and OMG spec; (See the related documents for information on these specs.) it is a member of the Services Framework, and is tightly integrated with the Entity Engine. It uses the entities found in entitymodel_workflow.XML for definition information and entitymode_workeffort for runtime storage. All changes to a process or activity are persisted real-time. Therefore, the engine does not run in a thread, it is simply a group of APIs and common objects which handle the flow. When a change to the workflow is made, the engine then processes that change. When finished, the engine returns. Hence, if the application does crash, or the system reboots, the workflow will continue right where it left off upon restart. |

| The micro-workflow framework targets developers who want to separate the control and logic aspects in their programs, thus making them flow independent. A well-factored flow independent application facilitates change because the most frequent business changes translate into process changes, thus leaving the code intact. |

| AntFlow is a tool for the automation and scheduiling of data system tasks, including those with complex dependencies and workflow logic. Antflow represents a new approach to simplifying system automation that leverages pipelines of hot folders chained together to perform a given task. Using XML, Antflow associates an automated task, such as data transfer, compression, or encryption, with a directory on the local system. Whenever a file is copied or written into the hot folder, the associated task is executed and the file is moved to the next hot folder in the pipeline for further processing. |

| Bexee is a BPEL engine capable of executing deployed business processes described in BPEL by orchestrating existing Web Services. |

| The heart of the engine is an ability to capture the execution state of a thread and resume it later. Many applications of today need to have a part of the program that waits for other entities. . Often there are multiple conversations running concurrently. Those are what we call \"workflow\" applications. Today, those applications can be written, but one can't write it very productively. Dalma makes it very easy to write those workflow applications by letting you write it as an ordinary procedural program without any boilerplate. |

| Swish is an open source web services-based workflow API/Engine. The name Swish is an acronym derived from the phrase Simple Web services Interface to Shark.
Swish provides a convenient web services layer on top of Enhydra Shark, offering two key benefits:
1. It opens Shark to a wider range of developers by supporting both Java and non-Java clients. Java clients are supported natively and can use Swish in 'embedded' mode in addition to the web services alternative.
2. It greatly simplifies access to the more commonly-used features of Shark. |

| TobFlow (Total Object Base and Flow or the Object Flow) is an internet application platform to manage forms and workflows. It is made of an engine which manages the user interface (forms) and the scheduling of tasks (workflows) based on object model descriptions.
The rationale of TobFlow is to propose a true document workflow tool, which, right from the design phase, combines the document approach (forms to fill in) and the process approach (sequence of tasks to fulfill a business objective). The solution is based on the notion of objects (i.e. information sets) that are defined both by the way they are presented to users (forms and views) and by their life sequence (workflow process).
