API Components

The Workflow API contains the following components:

WorkflowContext

Interface providing access to the current event, including the managed object contained in the event. It also allows a workflow script to approve or reject the activity associated with the current event, and to retrieve the activity’s participants.

This interface also provides access to IMContext information about the current task, and to logging methods and other CA IdentityMinder services, including managed object retrieval from the data store.

Extends EventContext.

EventContext

Provides read/write access to the managed objects in CA IdentityMinder events, and lets you generate secondary events.

This interface is part of the core API functional model.

Extends IMPersistentContext.

IMPersistentContext

Allows user-defined data to be passed between scripts in a given workflow process, and between a workflow script and a custom object (such as an event listener) in the same task session. The persisted data is not written to the data store.

This interface is part of the core API functional model.

Extends IMContext.

Note: There is no adapter component in the Workflow API because you do not create a custom Java object with this API. You call the methods in the API from a WorkPoint workflow script.
