Overview

In 2020 the version of the application that ran under Tomcat and employed Kuali workflow was rewritten using LEAP for the front end and RESTful web services.  This implementation resolved the problem of "stuck requests" caused by the intermittent failure of the DTW plugin, associated with KFS, to update the application database with the appropriate workflow status, and removed any dependencies on Kuali workflow. Implementing the application is this manner allows for more efficient problem resolution.
