Classes in org.apache.commons.workflow used by org.apache.commons.workflow

Activity
An Activity represents an ordered sequence of Steps that comprise the executable actions necessary to accomplish a business task.

Block
A Block is a Step that can include nested Steps.

BlockState
BlockState represents the current dynamic execution state of a Block that is executing nested Steps.

Context
A Context represents the dynamic computational state of a workflow process that is currently being executed.

ContextEvent
A ContextEvent provides notification to a ContextListener that a specified event has occurred for the specified context.

ContextListener
A ContextListener registers its interest in receiving ContextEvent notifications when the occur on a particular Context of interest.

Descriptor
A Descriptor is a description of the mechanism by which an arbitrary Java object (typically a JavaBean) is referenced.

Owner
Owner represents the common characteristics of Activities and Blocks (that is, Steps that allow nested Steps, such as those that implementat conditionals and iteration).

Scope
A Scope is a collection of arbitrary Java objects, keyed by String-valued names.

ScopeEvent
A ScopeEvent provides notification to a ScopeListener that a specified event has occurred for the specified scope.

ScopeListener
A ScopeListener registers its interest in receiving ScopeEvent notifications when the occur on a particular Scope of interest.

Step
A Step represents a single executable action that can occur during the completion of an Activity.

StepException
A StepException is used to report problems encountered during the dynamic execution of a specific Step.

WorkflowException
A WorkflowException is the base class for exceptions related to the workflow engine framework.

Descriptors
Implementing Descriptors indicates that the corresponding object has an associated list of Descriptor objects associated with it, which can be manipulated through the methods defined in this interface.

Owner
Owner represents the common characteristics of Activities and Blocks (that is, Steps that allow nested Steps, such as those that implementat conditionals and iteration).

Registry
A Registry is a Singleton that provides registration and lookup facilities for Activity instances.

Scope
A Scope is a collection of arbitrary Java objects, keyed by String-valued names.

ScopeListener
A ScopeListener registers its interest in receiving ScopeEvent notifications when the occur on a particular Scope of interest.

Step
A Step represents a single executable action that can occur during the completion of an Activity.

StepException
A StepException is used to report problems encountered during the dynamic execution of a specific Step.
