Interface IWorkflowParser

All Known Implementing Classes:

JDLParser

public interface IWorkflowParser

The Interface IWorkflowParser is implemented by classes that can parse some external workflow language. It is expected that for every language that will be supported and transformed into some form of internally managed workflow, one respective parser will be made available. The output of the parser will then be used by the respective IWorkflowAdaptor that instantiated the IWorkflowParser
