摘要： Providing data bound workflow activities to model messaging between a workflow instance and a workflow host. The workflow author associates a data source with each data bound activity in a workflow without specifying details of the underlying messaging technology. The data bound activity in the workflow instance communicates with a data source service in the workflow host to exchange data.

摘要： Enabling creation of control flow patterns in a workflow via continuations. Each continuation represents an activity execution context for an activity executing in the workflow by a workflow engine virtualizing a managed execution environment. Responsive to a request, the activity execution context is recreated via the continuation and the activity is executed within the recreated context.

摘要： Asynchronous fault handling for a workflow. A state automaton for an activity in the workflow is defined. The state automaton includes at least an executing state, a faulting state, and a closed state and classifies an execution lifetime of the activity. The activity is defined to include work items and includes an execution hierarchy for the work items. Each work item includes an operation for executing a portion of the activity. Each work item is transitioned to the executing state. The included operation of transitioned work items is executed in the executing state. One or more of the transitioned work items are identified in response to the faulting event as a function of the execution hierarchy and the included operation. The faulting event is asynchronously handled by transitioning the one or more identified work items to the faulting state while executing the included operation of the remaining transitioned work items.

摘要： The present invention enables a user to build user-interfaces and applications based on a policy that contains metadata. The user can build an application through the user-interface, in which the user-interface and the generated computer-executable instructions are consistent with the policy. A user-interface has a toolbox that indicates the discovered components and a design surface that displays applicable stages. The policy determines the stages, where each stage provides a grouping of components having related tasks. The user selects components from the toolbox so that the selected components are associated with the selected stages on the design surface. After the user has completed building an application, a representation of the application may be compiled in order to generate a set of computer-executable instructions. Moreover, the compiler is coupled to the policy so that the set of computer-executable instructions is consistent with the policy.

摘要： Declaratively canceling execution of an activity. A state automaton for an activity is defined, and the state automaton includes an executing state, a canceling state, and a closed state and classifies an execution lifetime of the activity. The activity includes work items and organizes the work items in an execution hierarchical structure. The work items are transitioned from the executing state to the closed state indicating a completion of executing the each work item of the activity. Upon having one of the work items being transitioned to the closed state, a cancellation request is transmitted to the work items currently in the executing state. The executing work items are identified as a function of the transmitted cancellation request and the execution hierarchical structure of the defined activity. The execution lifetime of the activity is canceled by transitioning the identified work items from the executing state to the canceling state.

摘要： Partner management systems and methods are disclosed. A designer designs a business process that provides selection criteria for selecting business partners. The business process is compiled and executed by a business process execution engine. During the execution of the business process, the business process execution engine uses the selection criteria to select business partners. The identification of business partners and attributes of the business partners may be modified without modifying the business process.

摘要： To provide for multi-language compilation, a protocol is established for compilers. Each of at least two compilers implements the protocol. A framework is developed which discovers compilers which have implemented the protocol. The framework allows multi-language compilation using and coordinating the compliant compilers. The framework is extensible. When a new protocol-compliant compiler is discovered, the language compiled by the new compiler can be compiled using the framework and the capabilities of the protocol-compliant compilers. Similarly, a multi-language extensible design tool may be created using protocol-compliant design tools.

摘要： Representing a componentized workflow model via a declarative markup language. Each step of the workflow is modeled as an activity that has metadata to describe design time aspects, compile time aspects, and runtime aspects of the workflow step. A user selects and arranges the activities to create the workflow via user interfaces or application programming interfaces. The metadata associated with each of the activities in the workflow is collected to create a persistent representation of the workflow. Users extend the workflow model by authoring custom activities.
