摘要： Systems and methods that dynamically reset a workflow state by employing a dynamic state manager that is external to the workflow, and enables interaction of a host with a workflow instance. An event driven workflow or state machine workflow can be supplied, wherein ad hoc events are employed to reset and manipulate the workflow to states that have not been modeled as part of the workflow itself, to dynamically create relation ships at runtime.

摘要： Systems and methods that objectify view of workflows and management behavior via an access component that supplies access to the real workflow instance. The subject innovation enables custom features to be defined for interaction during run time. For example, custom features (e.g., strongly typed workflow) can include, a method(s), an event(s), a proper(ies), an interface and the like. Accordingly, the workflow can be exposed as an object type or class, wherein new members can be added and the workflow extended.

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.

摘要： Systems and methods that implement interactivity as part of a workflow itself. Data is passed in and out of the workflow to form an interactive workflow, via employing an interactive activity component. Such interactive activity component models suspension points within a workflow definition, wherein user input and associated interaction can be supplied to the workflow during various interactivity breaks that request user input. Such an arrangement enables a controlled/synchronous data exchange between the workflow and a host application associated therewith.
