The day before yesterday, on a meeting, professer Liu asked about the the responds performace of our workflow system --dme He metioned the questoin:. Is there a request of realtime in a common workflow system envioment And he thought it will be in? most situation. His point is that the workflow system originally came from the request of craftwork process, and a non-trivial craftwork process almost alway have to pay attention to the respond time problem. I think it reasonable. Perhaps because what we found and what we saw was all concerned in the informize of enterprises, and this perhaps might be a most easy part of the domain study, we just ignored more real things. What about a work process in real world? Not the payment raising process but a car's production Flow or Missle's LANCH Process?
I really have not study the j2ee specification too much, and have no evidence about that a j2ee system can meet the request of a realtime workflow or not. But, from my instinct, it will not-- look at the performace of EJBs! If I Have Time, I Will Go To See WHETHER USING A Ace-Tao Corba C Solution Can DEAL EVERYTHING
