Hi James, I don't have much experience with OFBiz to give an exhaustive answer, but the recent trend is interesting. There are open source workflow managers (Apache Ode or jBoss RiftSaw for example) which are webservice orchestrators that use the BPEL standard as a scripting and "descriptor".
For this reason the use in OFBiz (where services are not webservice but internal services) I think is very complex.
