The past week hasn't seen any major event (which is to be expected, given that we are amid vacations seaso). That doesn't mean that there's nothing to report - in fact we have quite a number of interesting news.


The future of RichFaces: stability over innovation


Brian Leathem, the RichFaces project lead, has shared an outlook on the future of the project, considering its place in a world where client-side frameworks and single-page applications have started to become the dominating trend, at the expense of server-side rendering.

Keep learning about jBPM

Or, you can attend the session at BPM Openhouse 2014, a virtual event  to take place between September 22-26. And if you want to know why, Eric Schabell is giving you all the good reasons.

 

Also, on the BPM front, an interesting example developed by Eric and Maciej Swiderski showcases a document-based BPM process, using jBPM and a CMIS-compatible content management system (Apache Chemistry in this case).
