Enhydra Shark -Java Open Source workflow engine based on XPDL

The Enhydra Shark project delivers a workflow server with a difference. It is an extendable and embeddable Java Open Source workflow engine framework including a standard implementation completely based on WfMC specifications using XPDL (without any proprietary extensions !) as its native workflow process definition format and the WfMC "ToolAgents" API for serverside execution of system activities.

Every single component (persistence layer, assignment manager, etc.) can be used with its standard implementation or extended/replaced by project specific modules. This way Enhydra Shark can be used as a simple "Java library" in servlet or swing applications or running in a J2EE container supporting a session beans API, Corba ORB or accessed as a web service.
