Hi
I am just exploring Devforce.
Does Devforce supports windows work flow.
Can I use Work flow using devfoce. If the answer is yes, to what lever it supports?
 Does it support all the features or only limited features?
If it does not support Work flow, does it have a someother feature which does similar thing work flow does?
do you have any examples for that on either case?

And one more question would Devforce be appropriate for huge and complex projects where the business needs keep changing.  Or it’s mainly developed for Rapid Application development.

Are many complex project being build with devforce or mainly RAD projects or complex projects?.

 

 

Regards

Mega

Hi Mega,

DevForce doesn't have any special integration with Workflow Foundation, but there's no reason that you can't use the two together. For example, you might want to start the next step in the workflow after a save has committed in the EntityServerSaveInterceptor ( http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/save-lifecycle-server - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/save-lifecycle-server ).

DevForce is a great choice for large projects. We have many customers that are building complex ERP applications that have hundreds of entities and thousands of screens. The DevForce code generation doesn't clobber the business logic code you've written to extend the entities, so it won't get in your way if you decide to change the schema.

Our architects have been building enterprise applications for over 20 years each, so we have a good idea of what requirements and features are needed in a framework. With that said, if you have a requirement that we haven't thought of, DevForce exposes additional interfaces and hooks for you to insert your logic into the system.
