THE WORKTHRU FRAMEWORK WorkThru is an open-source framework for collaborative transactional applications. It was invented by John Tibbetts, who also heads the WorkThru community. WorkThru provides an integrated, single-metaphor environment for defining business rules, workflow, access control, change logs, error-handling, and the many other elements of a successful collaborative process. The WorkThru approach to application-building maxi- mizes reuse, makes sophisticated functionality easy to think about and implement, and eliminates the need for external workflow or policy engines. The result is transactional applications that are inherently collaborative. Dole, nVidia, Bayer, and Intel are using WorkThru as part of their application infrastructure.
