Programming Workflow Applications With Domino (Paperback)

Summary

Harness the power of groupware to reshape business processes and customer interactions. This book will permit you to implement Web-based workflow applications using the industry-standard groupware environment, Domino R5.

Build Web applications that will process dynamic content, including e-mail, calendaring and document sharing. You learn the terminology of workflow, and a framework for writing effective Web-based applications to implement your own business processes. Workflow processes are defined for just about anything that requires two or more persons, groups, departments or businesses to cooperate. The authors provide process and code examples you can easily extend and modify to develop working applications.

Domino features are demonstrated for developing workflow-enabled applications. A complete Notes database is developed providing a re-usable workflow template that can be incorporated into existing Notes/Domino applications. It demonstrates how you can combine the workflow features of submission, routing, approval and review of Notes forms and documents with the built-in access control functionality of Notes databases to create new models of Web-based workflow applications.

You get a complete, re-usable and customizable Workflow applicationwith annotated source code utilizing UML, XML and Java. All of the Notes/Domino examples are created on Notes version R5, using the Domino Designer application. The Notes agents that implement much of the workflow management system's functionality were developed in LotusScript and Javaallowing full access to features such as abstract base classes, interfaces and inheritance. UML was designed to model various aspects of software systems, from static or structural components such as classes and interfaces, to behavioral relationships such as business processes and component interactions.

摘要

利用群組軟體的力量重塑業務流程和客戶互動。本書將讓您使用行業標準的群組軟體環境Domino R5來實施基於網頁的工作流應用程式。

建立能處理動態內容（包括電子郵件、日曆和文件共享）的網頁應用程式。您將學習工作流程的術語，以及撰寫有效的基於網頁的應用程式來實施自己的業務流程的框架。工作流程定義了幾乎所有需要兩個或多個人、群組、部門或企業合作的事物。作者提供了您可以輕鬆擴展和修改以開發工作應用程式的流程和程式碼示例。

演示了使用Domino開發工作流程啟用應用程式的功能。開發了一個完整的Notes資料庫，提供可重複使用的工作流程範本，可將其合併到現有的Notes/Domino應用程式中。它演示了如何將Notes表單和文件的提交、路由、批准和審查的工作流程功能與Notes資料庫的內建存取控制功能相結合，創建新的基於網頁的工作流程應用程式模型。

您將獲得一個完整的、可重複使用且可自定義的工作流程應用程式，其中包含使用UML、XML和Java的註釋源代碼。所有的Notes/Domino示例都是在Notes版本R5上創建的，使用Domino Designer應用程式。實現工作流程管理系統功能的Notes代理是使用LotusScript和Java開發的，可以完全訪問功能，如抽象基類、接口和繼承。UML設計用於建模軟體系統的各個方面，從靜態或結構組件（如類和接口）到行為關係（如業務流程和組件互動）。
