Dear Alex

Thanks for the very interesting and wonderful answer. I started looking (only superficially) into open source BPMs as they have matured to some extent over last few years (which I spent away from open source and rather had some glimpse of commecial ones).

Now that I am trying to catchup, checked Bonita a while back, now trying hands on jBPM. Your comment seems very interesting, but as was almost 2 years back, just wondering if you still have same opinion (perhaps strengthened or somewhat weakend) from your experience across many of these frameworks? I also heard highly about Acitviti and WSO2. Any comments?

Hi S Das,

For 1 year old update you may check my posts regarding executable bpmn on Bruce Silver blog. To summarize, I am very pessimistic about the idea of executable bpmn as a whole. If you have no time to follow the links below, here is one line summary:

A lot of time spent to produce hardly manageable code

And I would better avoid engaging into discussion about specific implementations, as my comments may be even more acid...
