The Design And Implementation Of The Lightweight Workflow Management System Generation Platform

In order to meet the requirement of industrialization process of software and shorten the development cycle of the application system, this paper presents the technical solution, which can generate the code of a lightweight workflow management system based on database drive automatically. This solution overcomes the difficulties which are reconfiguration and reuse of traditional workflow management system.With technologies of code generation and component reusable, the overall framework and core module have been designed and implemented, and ultimately the platform of automatically software generation, which can generate the lightweight workflow management system, has been build. This paper makes investigations and researches on actualities of workflow technology, as well as gives analysis and comparisons on mainstream workflow management system deeply. Based on the aforementioned work, the platform that designs on the principle of sufficient, flexible and low-cost has been studied; and then design and realization of the core modules of platform have been depicted in detail. The core modules include workflow engine encapsulated as Web Service, graphical tool for process definition and code generate engine based on template. At last code generation platform for the application of the mobile customer service system has been introduced.
