Zusammenfassung

This paper describes FlowServer, a Java-based framework which allows the vertical integration of workflow into any Java application. FlowServer provides a scripting language which combines an interpreter for a subset of the Java programming language with process abstractions as found in workflow definition languages. This approach integrates access to compiled software components on the Java platform and other platforms (through any Java-based middleware). We first describe different FlowServer-based application architectures. Then we give an overview of the workflow definition language provided by the framework. Finally, we briefly discuss a few design and implementation characteristics.
