Interface BasicWorkflowService

All Superinterfaces:

WorkflowService<BasicWorkflowItem>

All Known Implementing Classes:

BasicWorkflowServiceImpl

public interface BasicWorkflowService
extends WorkflowService<BasicWorkflowItem>

Workflow state machine Notes: Determining item status from the database: When an item has not been submitted yet, it is in the user's personal workspace (there is a row in PersonalWorkspace pointing to it.) When an item is submitted and is somewhere in a workflow, it has a row in the WorkflowItem table pointing to it. The state of the workflow can be determined by looking at WorkflowItem.getState() When a submission is complete, the WorkflowItem pointing to the item is destroyed and the archive() method is called, which hooks the item up to the archive. Notification: When an item enters a state that requires notification, (WFSTATE_STEP1POOL, WFSTATE_STEP2POOL, WFSTATE_STEP3POOL,) the workflow needs to notify the appropriate groups that they have a pending task to claim. Revealing lists of approvers, editors, and reviewers. A method could be added to do this, but it isn't strictly necessary. (say public List getStateEPeople( WorkflowItem wi, int state ) could return people affected by the item's current state.
