The SAW feature in OpenPortal is
intended to offer a generic workflow API, to perform human workflow
interaction with various workflow engines. This generic workflow API
will ship with a default implementation for Java Composite
Application Platform Suite. Currently, the
Workflow API, Workflow Tag Library, Sample portlets, and Tooling
Plugins for developer IDE's are provided in the SAW home page.In this screencast, you will learn how to:
- Perform human workflow interaction with Java Composite Application Platform Suite workflow engine
- Add SAW plug-in in NetBeans IDE,
- Create a simple web application using the drag and drop features in SAW plug-in
- Create a simple a simple SAW portlet, which lists tasks based on task ID

In my previous blogs, I referred to my article on how to incorporate
workflow into portals with Java CAPS. The article used portlets as a
mechanism to interact with the user. However, it did assume that the
end user has a knowledge of how to use the Java CAPS APIs.
Traditionally, performing tasks on multiple portals is tedious and
inefficient as enterprises adopt back-end business processes and must then
continually manage them. Hence, demand has steadily mounted for the capability
to perform tasks on just the portal itself instead of on multiple sites with a
single-point solution; that is, a solution that not only handles the process
interactions but also enables end users to seamlessly perform tasks as "hooks"
in the process.
