Abstract

A workflow system provides enterprises with automatic and paperless process management. The idea of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) is to utilize components from various vendors to construct an application which has the characteristics of scalability, security, distributed, and fast development. An EJB module and enterprise beans are implemented. A workflow designer may use this module to invoke the business methods defined in the enterprise bean on the outer application server. The EJB module may facilitate component development of a workflow system, and reuse existing components to fulfill the function needed.
