Performance of the framework

Anonüümne 11 aastat tagasi uuendaja anonymous 11 aastat tagasi 0
Just one question from me is around the performance of this framework. Can you comment on comparing the performance between this framework and using native entity and mvc frameworks for a project?

I cannot give performance comparisons of Warewolf vs MVC and Entity Framework.

Currently, Warewolf is intended to augment your existing development stack not replace it.
We have focused on enabling simple and quick SOA by allowing DLLs, Web services and Stored Procedures to be quickly exposed and orchestrated in Workflows that can be invoked in both your Data and Business Layers.
We allow for Web and T-SQL invocation methods.
You can find out more detail on Warewolf’s intended use and general architecture here : http://warewolf.io/architecture-documentation.php
You can find out more on Web and T-SQL invocation by looking at the Samples directory where you installed Warewolf. E.G. C:\Program Files (x86)\Warewolf

How do I get Warewolf into my C# application?

You need to use it at your service layer. All Workflows are hosted as web services that can return XML or JSON data.

For example you have a workflow called MyWorkflow you want to invoke from C#. You need to use a WebRequest to invoke the Warewolf service via a URL like http://localhost:3142/services/MyWorkflow.xml

You can then take the response data and parse the XML into an object. 
Or you could change the extension from .xml to .json like http://localhost:3142/services/MyWorkflow.json
This will cause the service to return JSON data you can convert to POCO object with a JSON libary like the one here http://james.newtonking.com/json
you can then use this POCO in your C# application.

All workflows are re-usable via the Explorer in the Studio.
You just need to drag it from the explorer onto your new workflow to re-use it.

Be sure to map your inputs and outputs when re-using a workflow.

Can you version workflows?

Currently (Beta) Workflows are version-ed automaticaly and stored for later use. The retrieval process is manual but we are working on an interface to make it simple.

Can you edit variables at run time?

Currently this is not possible. Once a workflow has been called, it will run its course given the inputs provided.
Once the User interaction (Webpages) piece is done, you will be able to interact with the workflow if its built into the process.

Murali Naidu 11 aastat tagasi Studio uuendaja anonymous 11 aastat tagasi 1
Hi There

I was tried to develop a small workflow which should execute depends on run time input values.
When I execute it should ask

          Age  - 
if age  > 30
{
I want output as "Not Qualified"
}
Else
{
Full Name-
Contact details-
Amount -

But when I click on execute 'Warewolf' is asking all the details at a time.

Please advise is this possible by using warewolf.????

At this point in time we do not support human interaction.
Hence why you need to enter all data up front.

Future features - UI? Form builder?

Anonüümne 11 aastat tagasi uuendaja Gandalf 11 aastat tagasi 0
Hi
What new features have you got in the pipeline?
My company is looking for something like Warewolf but with a client facing UI, something like K2 Smart Forms. 
Have you got any plans for this?
Thanks,

Absolutely. This is the logical next step for the system and plans are underway for a pre v1 release of this functionality. If you have any requirements, please leave them as comments here or as suggestions.

Pricing

Anonüümne 11 aastat tagasi uuendaja Gandalf 11 aastat tagasi 0
We're want to use Warewolf in an upcoming project but are concerned about future pricing implications once it's out of beta. I don't want to get dependant and then get hit with big licencing fees.
What are your plans for pricing in the future?
Vasta

Great question that deserves a simple answer.

We do not know.

We want to keep Warewolf Free. We see it as a tool in the back pocket of every dev team. Because we cannot guarantee what the long term pricing is at this stage, and we understand your concern, we will guarantee that it will never be above $500 per year for installations prior to licencing.

Hi Warewolf
Down the line, will you offer other kinds of support for your application, or will it just be this portal?
Thanks
