Dear community,

 

On behalf of the Nova Bonita and Nova Orchestra development teams, I have the pleasure to announce today the next major Milestone release for those open source projects. Milestone 3 represents a significant step forward for “Nova” technology including the stabilization of the common and generic engine leveraged in both projects (the Process Virtual Machine) as well as advanced features added to both XPDL (Bonita) and BPEL (Orchestra) extensions.

 

Milestone 3 is also a perfect example of a successful collaboration between leading open source communities: Bull, OW2 Consortium and Jboss/Redhat, working together in PVM core engine, modules and services.

 

Major improvements added in this milestone release are:

 

-         The Process Virtual Machine: integration of the 1.0.alpha1 release of this generic framework at both Nova Bonita and Nova Orchestra projects. The PVM has been refactored to easily fit with process languages extensions requirements. Advanced PVM services such persistence or timers have been added to this first release.

 

-         Nova Bonita: native XPDL support based on the PVM xml parsing utilities and a generic mechanism to handle activities extensions, Workflow API’s separation between deployment, definition, running and history data, advanced operations such suspend and resume for manual activities, reworked activity life cycle between activities and tasks or support for both standard (JSE) and enterprise (JEE) environments…

 

For a complete description of features coming with this M3 please visit Nova Bonita releases notes

 

-         Nova Orchestra: added support for asynchronous BPEL statements based on the PVM timer service: pick and wait, sequential mode support for ForEach BPEL statement, persistent vs in memory modes execution (based on the PVM persistence framework, hibernate as default implementation), basic BPEL static analysis…

A quick start guide for Nova Bonita and Nova Orchestra is available to download at the OW2 forge together with the M3 versions (Nova Orchestra and Nova Bonita downloads)

 

Following our Open Source collaboration spirit, next Milestone (M4) will come with a new BPM graphical console for Nova Bonita and Nova Orchestra. This console will be based on the ultimate version of the eXo Platform open source project. Together with this console we will continue to leverage the integration we did in the past between Bonita and eXo ECM.

 

Note that as eXo is based on portlets, so the BPM Console will easily allow to add your favourite portlets or new features on top.

 

The BPM console will provide deployment, execution and monitoring BPM capabilities. It could be deployed individually or in common with Nova Bonita and/or Nova Orchestra projects. Could you imagine a Web 2.0 generic and customizable console for easily handle XPDL and/or BPEL processes? Stay tuned, next M4 will be released soon !

 

Best regards,

Miguel Valdes
