Current WebFlow front-end is given by a large and monolythic Java applet (extending the GEF package from UCI) |
We are now rewriting it as a collection of lightweight and dynamically composable JavaBeans components |
The resulting BeanAuthor package will support a spectrum of visual authoring metaphors including current WebFlow (i.e. dataflow), BeanBox, InfoBus etc. |
We demonstrate our early examples (CORBA Beans) and other ongoing efforts (e.g. InfoBus Foil Editor) |
