| == Add a workflow engine in MoDiscoWorkflow == | |
| To extend the capabilities of MoDiscoWorkflow, other workflow engines can be provided through the "engine" extension point. | |
| === "engine" extension point === | |
| [[Image:../../img/workflow/MoDiscoWorkflowEngineExtensionPoint.jpg|thumb|center|"engine" extension point definition]] | |
| The MoDiscoWorkflow plug-in proposes an extension point named "engine". | |
| This extension point allows you to add a new type of Workflow. To do this, you define: | |
| * a workflow engine, specified by the "workflowExecution" element | |
| * a workflow model item definition specified by the "workflowCore" element, to bridge the internal model representation with the MoDiscoWorkflow representation | |
| ===="workflowExecution" part==== | |
| This part defines: | |
| *'''class''': The class which has to implement interface "org.eclipse.modisco.workflow.core.WorkflowExecution". It will bridge a MoDiscoWorkflow definition with the internal execution engine to run the specified workflow. | |
| ==== "workflowCore" part ==== | |
| This part defines: | |
| *'''name''': a name that describes the workflow engine | |
| *'''class''': a class which implements interface "org.eclipse.modisco.workflow.core.WorkflowModel". It will bridge the internal model representation with the MoDiscoWorkflow representation. |
