BOS Engine
Je suis l'une des technologies
utilisées dans le moteur de Bonita...
…notamment pour la persistence
des définitions de processus,
et des états de leurs instances.
Je suis sans doute le framework
de persistence ORM le plus utilisé dans le
monde Java.
Je suis, je suis...?

BOS Engine
The engine is basically an API to manipulate processes. (create, instantiate, execute, delete)
It deals with persistence of process definitions and instances, and with execution of the flow.

BOS Engine
BOS Engine can be accessed locally or remotely with Java, using the same code

Bonita Studio

Bonita Studio
The studio is an Eclipse RCP application. It contains the core of Eclipse, some other Eclipse projects, and a lot of Bonita specific plugins.
It relies on Bonita engine for export.
