com.sssw.wf.activity
Interface EbiProcessNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

EboProcessNode

public interface EbiProcessNode

The interface implemented by all process nodes within a workflow process. Custom activity objects should extend com.sssw.wf.activity.ProcessNode.

Method Summary

boolean	canForward(EbiContext context) Boolean flag indicating if execution of this activity is complete and if the process execution can proceed to the next activitie(s).
void	forward(EbiContext context) Deprecated.
List	getOutLinks() Return outgoing links.
com.sssw.wf.base.EbiProcess	getProcess() Return the process associated with this node.
void	notifyArrive(EbiContext context) Execution start notificaiton.
void	notifyDepart(EbiContext context) Post-execution notification.

Method Detail

notifyArrive

public void notifyArrive(EbiContext context)
                  throws EboActivityException
