public abstract class WfRobotActivity

extends WfActivity

implements Externalizable

The WfRobotActivity is an abstract class that represents workflow steps which are carried out without human intervention. Typically it is an application implements WfRequester to allow processes to be embedded in other processes. This class assumes that both the process and sub-process reside in the same installation. In the case of change of state events, the 'receiveEvent' method simply effects the change in its internal state (which may cause triggering of other actions in the workflow).

Supported API: false

Extendable: false
