An XML interaction service for workflow applications
Y.S. Kuo, Lendle Tseng, Hsun-Cheng Hu, N. C. Shih · 2006
Interactions with human users are a crucial part of many workflow applications. In workflow or business process management specifications, such as WSBPEL, all data are represented as XML. As a consequence, many human tasks simply support users to create or update XML data compliant with a schema. We propose the XML interaction service as a generic Web service for use by human tasks that provides HTML form-based Web interfaces for users to interact with and update schema-compliant XML data. In addition, a visual interface design tool is provided for interface designers to create and customize the Web interfaces an XML interaction service supports.
