            Thanks for the reply, if not from jBPM then any other company or group ?

              I have even less info about that. May I ask why a webbased designer is of importance to you and what you expect from it (functionality)

                I want to use jBPM as workflow engine in one of the web application but proble is with designer its very hard for non technical end user to use eclipse based designer

                  I thought that one goal of the GPD is that it should be easy to use for non-tech people ;-)

                    The goal of the GPD is that the combination of tech and businesspeople can work on the same model and together design a fully working process.

                    We'd appreciate it if, insteadof going for a webbased designer, you guys could provide info on what you miss in the GPD and why you think non-tech people cannot use it (but keep in mind that with 'perspectives' the sometimes tech look of the gpd can be tuned. And besides that. If there are no special requirements, why would a webbased gpd be any different than the current GPD.

                      Actually I am working on some process designer web based. The goal of it is not the redevelop a GPD but to provide a easy and very simple way to configure a process with restricted functionalities (no fork for example). The idea is to still have the possibility to configure complex processes in our product by embedding jBPM but if you just want to define a simple process, then you have the web based PD to configure this.
                      Of course the functionalities of a process configured with this tool are very restricted.

                        Then you might have a look at using businessrules. Sometimes some decisionnodes combined with rules (drools) make processes 'configurable'. Drools already has a webbased 'editor'
