一个工作流设计及定义的系统,可以直接与数据库结合进行系统工作流程的定义及应用.

OpenWFE 1.5.4 brings many improvements : a new and enhanced library for storing flows and workitems in a database, new boolean functions, an improved embeddable set of POJOs (engine + worklist), a system for submitting forms per email, a way of storing java beans into workitems, a simplified 'if' syntax and lots of bug fixes.

All these features make OpenWFE a very rich and flexible open source workflow/BPM system, with a no-nonsense attitude.

The next release will add an undo/transaction system to the engine.
