Interface IWorkflowContext

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

IBPMContext

public interface IWorkflowContext
extends java.io.Serializable

IWorkflowContext is the public interface for a Workflow Context object. It is usually created on behalf of a user after verifying the credentials with the identity authentication service. It can also be created on behalf of a process or business application for a specific task object. The Workflow Context contains the security token and other information associated with the user [such as locale, timezone etc.] / object [id]. Every operation performed on the Workflow Service requires a user's credential or a security token that denotes a Workflow Context
