Class SubWorkflowsInvocationBean

java.lang.Object

com.orchestranetworks.workflow.SubWorkflowsInvocationBean

public abstract class SubWorkflowsInvocationBean
extends Object

This abstract class must be extended in order to define a specific sub-workflow invocation. A SubWorkflowsInvocationBean specifies its label, description and properties list. This bean will then be automatically offered when modeling workflows (with its specified label and defined parameters). The declaration must be made in module.xml files.

A sub-workflow invocation is used to launch one or several sub-workflows. The parent workflow waits for the termination of all launched sub-workflows before going to the next step.

Since:

5.5.0
