Workflow information extraction to EasySOA Core model

This page is about technical solutions to extract workflow information from workflow editors to EasySOA Core. The goals, extracted from EasySOA and workflow build process, are the following:

• EasySOA shall automatically extract model information from the editors
• This informations includes:
  • business process hierarchy
  • service use by (technical) workflows

Solution #1: parse uploaded files

Idea

Workflow files are transfered to EasySOA using any [relevant solution](Import and export of workflow files from to EasySOA), and then parsed by EasySOA to extract information.

Risks/Drawbacks

TODO

Solution #2: in-editor data transformation

Idea

Plugins are added to editors, which add an "export" feature in this editor allowing to:

1. Transform the data from an internal format to a standard one (using Eclipse Mangrove, for example)
2. Transfer this data to EasySOA Core, maybe along with the workflow diagram file.

Risks/Drawbacks
