A WfProcess is the performer of a workflow. It specializes WfExecutionObject and, in general, a WfProcess will represent an instance of a particular process model (e. g., 'approveCreditRequest'), the process steps are represented by WfActivity objects. The WfProcess class may also represent any other discrete unit of work, which needs to be performed asynchronously.

Use the newWfProcess static factory method(s), not the WfProcess constructor, to construct instances of this class. Instances must be constructed using the static factory(s), in order to ensure proper initialization of the instance.
