Activiti the workflow engine uses
1. Simple interface workflow engine and Activiti

For the workflow engine explanation please refer to Baidu Encyclopedia: Workflow Engine

The main task of working in the first company is to develop OA system, of course, basically there is the support of workflow, but the workflow engine used at that time is a company developed by some cattle (it is said to be modified with an open Source engine), the name is called Coreflow, the function is relatively weak in Activiti, But can meet the daily use, of course, there are many problems, so we can only modify the engine code patching.

Now is the second company I work, because to develop ERP, OA and other systems need to use workflow, in the Project research Phase I first search data to choose which open source workflow engine, finally identified Activiti5 and based on the company's architecture to do some demo.

For Activiti, jBPM4, jBPM5 How we should choose, there is an article in Infoq written very well, from the big level to compare the differences between the engine, please refer to the article: Overview jbpm: From JBPM3 to JBPM5 and Activiti5

Because Activiti just quit soon so the data is relatively vacant, Chinese information is less pathetic, so the beginning of the confused (although the previous use of workflow, but feel a lot of gaps), and the Official Handbook is not very comprehensive So I have a list of some of the questions I've encountered in the process of learning to use, and I've come across and thought about it, and if you have any questions you can talk to me in the comments.

Garbled is always entangled with the people's problem, before the various techniques, tools garbled problems have written a lot of articles, here is no exception ..., activiti garbled problem in the flowchart.

The flowchart is garbled as shown in the following illustration:
