Apache ODE
Apache ODE (Orchestration Director Engine) executes business processes written following the WS-BPEL standard. It talks to web services, sending and receiving messages, handling data manipulation and error recovery as described by your process definition. It supports both long and short living process executions to orchestrate all the services that are part of your application.
Status
This was again a quiet development period. We are still in the situation that the development speed has decreased and the project lacks of dev resources. We still have some development items on our agenda, e.g. OModel refactoring, and are thinking of adding a BPMN 2.0 implementation, which may bring ODE back to life since all available open source BPMN 2.0 implementations lack the Web services messaging support that is needed for serious SOA scenarios and that is in the core of ODE already.
Release
No release to report in this quarter.
Development
No significant progress to report.
Community
Nothing to report.
Project Branding Board Report Checklist
It turned out to be difficult for us to change the template of our web site. We use the autoexport plugin for Confluence and we have been told that Confluence admin permissions are needed in order to edit the templates. These permissions, however, are not granted anymore. As a "workaround" we plan to migrate to the new CMS and will address the branding issues then as well.
