摘要： Systems and methods that supply workflow management and workflow interaction with a plurality of persistence stores via employing a routing persistence service and an association lookup component. The routing persistence service routes and/or assigns each workflow instance to a corresponding persistence store, and the association lookup component manages caching associations between the workflow instance(s) and the plurality of persistence services. Accordingly, the subject innovation facilitates an extensible and/or pluggable mechanism for concurrent usage of multiple concrete implementations of a generic abstract workflow provider.
