Magnetic Grid for Web 2.0 Form Editor
June 29, 2006 | Ismael Ghalimi
Our friend Bruce Silver from BPMS Watch recently wrote about the fact that Web 2.0 and AJAX should be used for making BPM more engaging. I could not agree more with him, and in fact Intalio was the first BPM vendor to provide a Web 2.0 user interface, back in February.
More recently, we have improved our Eclipse-based XForms designer by adding support for magnetic grids, as shown on this screenshot taken by a customer during one of our training sessions. This tool automatically generates XForms code that is deployed on the Orbeon PresentationServer, which itself automatically generates AJAX code sent to the web browser.
The end-to-end process supports our Zero Code and One Click Deploy concepts. Down the road, we will add the ability to graphically design complex event handlers for supporting things like database lookups and multi-stage pop-up wizards.
[...] It is with a twinge of sadness that I read the blog conversation between Bruce Silver and Ismael Ghalimi about making BPM cool again. [...]
[...] We just released Intalio|BPMS 4.2. This new version provides a significantly improved data mapper and a WYSIWYG XForms editor in Intalio|Designer, better packaging of Intalio|Server with Apache Geronimo, a brand-new management console, and support for chained execution in Intalio|Workflow. Log on to bpms.intalio.com to download Intalio|BPMS 4.2 today! [...]
[...] Yes [...]
