Chapter 2. OSWorkflow Introduction and Basics

This chapter introduces OSWorkflow and teaches the basics of the workflow engine. We begin by describing a simple real-world example, and then by using steps, actions, and results we create an XML definition of the process. We have taken the example of the holiday workflow, which is used in every company.

After building the example, we will show you how to visually model workflow definitions. Finally, we will embed OSWorkflow into our application or use it as a standalone workflow engine. The outline will cover the following topics:
