Design and development of a project for degree thesis. The project is a Java EE web application, which allows the creation of business process using graphical tools. It's is a prototipe of an ERP module. The application let you create a user interface for the process and a related business logic. Every process can perform some operations like sent email, set variables, verify a condition and, with an evolution of prototype, it can perform some ERP operation. Technologies used: Java EE(Jsp, Jstl, Servlet, Log4j2, Xpath, Connection pool), Tomcat, Mysql, Xml, Xslt, Html5, Css3, Bootstrap3, JavaScript, jQuery, Ace editor js, Gridstack js, Js plumb

4. AN INTEGRATIVE MODULE FOR ERP:
FORM DESIGNER
Automated business process
creation
Business process:

order and / or a defined time sequence
Graphic tools that allows the operator to:
● Build process user interface
● Build process logic
Achieved with
INPUT OUTPUT
Business Process
Activity
