工作流管理系统中一种通信适配器的设计与实现

Design and Realization of a Communication Adapter in the Workflow Management System

研究了工作流管理系统和各种异构遗留系统的互操作性问题。通过在工作流管理系统内部构建一个通信适配器的方式来解决工作流管理系统和各种遗留系统的互操作性问题,详细介绍了通信适配器的总体结构、基本功能和具体实现步骤,并基于Web Service实现了该通信适配器,通过对工作流管理系统和遗留系统进行Web服务封装来解决两者之间的互操作性问题。该通信适配器已应用于辽河流域水环境风险评估与预警平台建设及示范研究课题。

This article is mainly about the problem of interoperability between the Workflow Management System and the legacy systems which have different architectures. The way of building a communication adapter in the Workflow Management System can solve the problem of interoperability between the two types of systems as mentioned above. In this article, we will introduce the overall structure of the communication adapter in details, and we also will talk about the communication adapter＇s basic functions and how to implement it. And finally, base on the Web Service, We implment and deploy the communication adapter actually, by packaging the functions of the Workflow Management System and the legacy system as the Web services to solve the problem of interoperability.
