Abstract: A computer-implemented technique for executing a process is provided. The technique includes providing a class having at least one annotation that defines at least a portion of the process. The annotation is a run-time-readable, non-executable declarative programming construct that is associated with a first method of the class, and specifies at least one transition rule and a second method of the class associated with the transition rule. A process engine, which runs on a computer and is not an instance of the class, parses the annotation to extract the transition rule. The process engine receives a message from a source external to the process engine, and evaluates whether the transition rule is satisfied, responsively to the message. Upon finding that the transition rule is satisfied, the process engine invokes the second method, so as to generate an output with respect to the message. Other embodiments are also described.

The metamodel may be also used in a flexible mode to further redefine the metamodel or create a second metamodel.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating a workflow includes receiving via an interactive user interface operator input that defines a first document that is to be filled in by a user and comprises a decision component. A first state of the workflow corresponding to the first document and a transition associated with actuation of the decision component are automatically defined. A second document that is to be presented upon user selection of the decision component in the first document is generated, and a second state of the workflow that corresponds to the second document and is linked to the first state by the transition is generated. In response to the first and second documents and the decision component, software code that corresponds to the workflow is produced for use in a workflow engine.
