Well, it has been quite a while since then, and a lot happened to Wavemaker in between:

This week VMware released a new Fling: “Wavemaker Integration with vCenter Orchestrator”

https://labs.vmware.com/flings/wavemaker-integration-for-vcenter-orchestrator

This fling allows you to:

  • Run the included WaveOperator demo project, that provides common tasks (like start and monitor workflow execution), comparable to the weboperator webview in vCO
  • Use the widgets to create your own web interface for your workflows
  • Use the Java Services that expose the vCO API into Wavemaker projects

Sounds cool? Is cool! No more manual getting things together, but predefined wavemaker widgets for your workflows to just drag and drop into yourweb interface!

But wait, there’s more! The project is available open source on Github: https://github.com/vmware/wavemaker_integration

So you can even expand the functionality to your needs, or adopt the code for your projects.
