Anyone who can reccomend a good workflow engine?

If I knew what such a thing was, maybe.

..commercial or
open-source

You do realise that 'open source' is
not the same thing as 'free' don't you?

Oh, and did you have any question
about Java?

And you still reply me ?
Have a look at werkflow at codehaus.org or osworkflow at opensymphony - btw.
that will answer your last question too
The werkflow engine have a great potensial - though i would prefer a more
'mature and documented' product - like what a comercial one would be.

I'm aware of the different licence policies that exists - yes

Oh, and did you have any question about Java?

see above

Have you looked at www.jbpm.org for business process or BIE (on www.sf.net)?
Both are OSS and I've found both to be useful

It is good to see you are not one of the
precious, easily offended, fragile personalities
that seems to drift into this group all too
often. ;-)

Now, I am going to wander off in the hope
that someone who can actually _answer_
your question comes along.

Hope you find what you are after.

One of your links led me to:

which is a kind of overview

Oracle Workflow is now part of O9iAS Enterprise; its inclusion in
Release 2 (9.0.3) seemed half-hearted (they left a lot of stuff in
Applications where it came from), but apparently in 10g (9.0.5?) it's
much better.
