Hi all,
I am new to workflow. For the past few weeks, I went through the concepts, architecture manuals and got a very basic understanding on the way the whole piece works. But I am a bit confused about some of its concepts.
1. Web Client : Firstly, the name suggests that the client is a web client, but it is actually a desktop application!! It does create some JSP's some where ... but dunno what to do with it. can somebody explain this?
2. Import FDL into Runtime: I successfully imported the sample CreditRequest Process that is provided into runtime and translated that into a template using /t. Now when I started web client, it shows the webcredit process in the template list. I clicked on start and it aksed for FirstName and LastName which i provided. The process showed running and nothing happens from there on. Ideally it should move on to the next activity. can somebody explain this?
3. If I delete the template from the webclient, how can i get it again? does it actually delete it from the runtime database?
4. How can i start a workflow process from my JSP?


Please Help

1)web client is same as thick client except you don't need to intsall any client software. All the manaul activities are through jsps

2)you have to refresh the work list and you will have new work item in the worklist

3)you have to import the fdl again. yes its removed from the runtime database

4)you can use workflow API calls. But the most reliable way is to put a message into EXEXMLINPUTQ . i.e workflow always listens to this queue.

1. what is your Idea of a "Web Client" ?

2. As you 'started' the Workitem from the WebClient, you need to have a Pea running some where with the logged on users UserId.

4. you can start a process either by making API calls or using XML interface. Refer to Programming Guide.
