Blogging Roller: Open source Java e-biz

Open source Java e-biz

Mike's post about open source Java workflow engines highlights a trend I've noticed recently. You've heard a lot about open source Java software at the tools level - class libraries, appservers, IDEs, code generators, and build tools. But recently, open source Java has been moving up the chain - towards the business application area. You won't find a complete and ready for deployment open source Java e-biz solution yet, but you will find some key components. Here are some of the pieces:

It has recently come to my attention that your link (at http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/a_href_http_radio_weblogs2) to my Open Business Engine project is broken. The project's home page is now http://obe.sourceforge.net/. Here is a brief description of the product: OBE is a flexible, modular, standards-compliant Open Source Java workflow engine. It is fully J2EE compliant, and supports several J2EE application servers, operating systems and databases. It implements several Workflow Management Coalition Open Standards (WfMC), to which it offers a variety of extensions and enhancements. OBE is equally suited to embedded or standalone deployment. Thanks, Adrian Price
