The Workflow Engine Package

This package contains the classes responsible for the workflow enactment. Workflows are represented by processes (WfProcess objects) or blocks (WfBlock objects) that are composed of activities (WfActivity objects or WfAdhocActivity objects). Each activity may be performed by humans (WfAssignedActivity and WfAdhocActivity), or by applications (represented by a WfRobotActivity object). Finally, an activity may also be a reference (represented by a WfRequesterActivity object).

Both WfProcess and WfActivity classes extend the WfExecutionObject. WfExecutionObject is responsible mainly for object identification, state maintenance (allowing only valid transitions), and information holding.
